Dublin 16th June

[burnleynotbarcelona]

Just booked flights from Leeds Bradford for sum total of 2 pence return (no taxes).
Anyone else on here going to this ? I was abit surprised that tickets were still available as Whelans, I believe, only holds around 400.
Playing Belfast aswell the day before but I couldn't stretch to both.
Got to find some cheap accomodation now - if anyone knows anywhere in Dublin pls let me know.
cheers

whelans is quite small alright, but its a monday night and theres a ridiculous amount of gigs in Dublin at the moment.. i would guess it mightnt even be sold out on the night.

depends how cheap/basic your lookin for. hostels are obviously the cheapest option, can find decent ones for €20 from what ive heard: www.hostelworld.com/hostels/Dublin

ive also heard this place is pretty good: www.charlesstewart.ie/
its on the opposite side of the city to whelans but you could still walk it

Thanks for that looking forward to it - never been to Dublin other than the airport!

[Mr. Razzcocks]

Yeah i'll be there in all my glory, can't wait! Yeah Whelans is pretty small, doubt it will sell out at this stage although with No You Didnt, No You Dont getting more airplay now that it's the next single it might pull in a few more people!!
Yeah im goin to Belfast the day before too, think the Speakeasy is even smaller than Whelans, think it's a student bar!
Yay, then its Oxegen 4 weeks later!!!!

I can not wait for tonight!!!!!!! Legend 20, have you seem them in Belfast yesterday?

[Mr. Razzcocks]

Yes I did, absolutey brilliant gig.. kind disapointed they didnt play How Come or Trying Too Hard To Score.. But hey it was class anyway! Met Michael beforehand and Liam afterwards, came down the stairs and all with the crowd afterwards.. decent bloke too, talkin to everyone!
Just about to head into town now, shall see you there (even though I havent got a clue who you are ) I'm the guy wearin the Smiths tshirt!! I'm cool!

Was at the gig lastnight,

Great night! the band were on form! and love Whelans as a venue

The setlist below for anyone interested

[elecollins]

The gig was fantastic! Amazing! Being used to big gigs it was really weird being so close to the band and the stage! Met Liam at 6.00 and took some pictures! Really a nice but a nice guy! I'm sure their future will be very bright!

[Mr. Razzcocks]

Yeah I met him around then too, sound bloke for sure!!

what a great atmosphere for a monday night! cant imagine what it would have been like on a weekend. havent been at a gig with an atmosphere like that for a while. heard a lot from my mates in manchester bout how good they were live but really didnt expect it to be as good as it was. great craic

[Mr. Razzcocks]

I was thinkin theyd have a temporary barrier up. great that they didnt! The bit where the microphone went into the crowd (landed on my face) and we kept singin then they picked up where we left off was brilliant!!

[Cirs]

Without a doubt the craziest gig I've ever been to in Whelan's! Fookin mad. The 19/20 year- olds going crowd surfing made me feel like a very old boring 24 year old standing at the sound desk just enjoying it!

I was actually surprised they didnt play a bigger venue. I don't think the organisers expected the crowd they got in Whelans. Great to see the band in such a small venue, don't think I'll get that chance again.
