deadly, can't wait.

though I'm a bit worried about the Sugar Club as a venue for this. With the door up by the stage and the bar at the back, it might not be suitable for a quiet gig.

Ah don't say that. I had band practice and felt I couldn't miss it. Knew it would be savage

well it mightn't have been for everyone but I thought it outstanding.

If you liked the stars of the lid gig that time you'd have loved this. Similar kind of setup with wiltzie and o'halloran on either side of the stage with the string trio in the middle.

Just utterly brilliant.

interesting to hear this; someone on the proc forum said the opposite

Its an old cinema, I dunno, maybe there was 200 people there? Door is right next to the stage which doesnt help at a gig like this. I find these type of performances always have a number of factors that when they come together make it special, respectful crowd, obviously sound etc. All didnt m atch up for me in Dublin to be honest, not helped by the two most irritating guys ever to my left, talking and joking aloud througout, baffling.

own up, which two of ye was that?

might be a case of bad luck with whoever wrote that ending up sitting beside a couple of arseholes. But there wasn't anything that could be heard throughout the room. There were a couple of lads on the steps to the left of the room as you face the stage, turned to each other chatting on occasion. They weren't too bad though. I'd have gotten up and told them to shut up if they were.

and I shared the fears about the location of the door but the only person coming in or out during the gig was the burd from the support act (and maybe the bouncer once).

it wouldn't have been my choice of venue for this gig but it worked out really well in the end (I put a lot of that down to the fact that its january and people were going easy on the drink)
