He's from somewhere round there originally I think but he's lived in dublin for as long as i've known him anyway...i've not seen him in ages anyway.

My reply to the question was better.

First gig was Page and Plant in the Point. They did a few songs from their last album but it was mainly Zepplin classics. Not sure when it was. 98?
First punk gig was Anti-hero in Ballymahon.

I just took a trip to the chemical amusement park

Yes, the good oul days, perhaps I was at a judgment gig before Acid Reign

runners=shoes?

I think this should be adopted as a new policy for all punk/hardcore bands touring Ireland: play a blistering gig and then having to scratch their names into 100 pairs of converse/paraboots...

First Concert: Michael Jackson Lansdowne Rd. 1992.

I had actually been selected to perform on stage with the man himself along with 24 other boys from my school, but when it came to the big night the stage wasn't big enough for all of us, so only the smallest children were picked.

Sadly, the King's advisers had not deemed me small enough so I was left out of the 'Heal the World' chorus group that performed that night by holding hands and forming a circle, walking around ould Dirty Micky as he sang.

I was so enraged that I began to cry uncontrolably and even ripped off my Michael Jackson t-shirt. Afterwards we were allowed to watch the show for free, and how my heart ached as the King kicked into the first chorus of....
"Heal the World, make it a better place, for you and for me and..."

First Gig: Battle of the Bands 1995? in strangely enough, Landsdowne Rugby Clubhouse.

Bambi were on first, they played 4 Sex Pistols covers and that was it. I thought it was fucking amazing. Then all the other bands played Rage Against the Machine covers and I moshed for the first time.

First Punk Gig: The Old Chinaman, Summer 96. Puget Sound / Skint (I think) and some other band.

Rors da gave us a lift to the venue. During the gig his parents showed up looking a bit worried about the state of the place, the hash smoking and dodgy tattoos etc... Ror was banned from ever playing there again by his folks. After that, anytime we played there Ror had to throw his snare over the back wall of his gaff and pretend he was going to friends house. That went on for ages, the poor bastard.
