Of course you are.
Thanks to coronavirus, there’s nothing to do and nowhere to go.
Or is there?
Barry Hartigan, the indomitable music promoter behind the Alternative Sunday Social Club in The Wild Duck on Sycamore Street in Temple Bar, Dublin 2, writes:
With gigs being cancelled all over Dublin this week Strand remain defiant and will push ahead with their show in The Wild Duck this Sunday afternoon from 4pm.
Come on down and enjoy an afternoon of lovely jangly guitar tunes for just €10….
We really want to let people know that this damn virus isn’t going to kill off quality live music so would appreciate your help in ‘spreading’ the word folks.

I’ll get me hazmat and leave.
Maybe gigs are being cancelled across Dublin because gatherings of 100 or more are illegal?
What measures is the promoter doing to facilitate social distancing and prevent unnecessary transmission?
As per The Temple of Doom post, it seems clear the Temple Bar area must be a unique transmission free zone – or else, it should be closed ASAP in the interests of public health.
Remarkable the lack of responsible behaviour going on by greedy operators – to whom, I advise, you will be remembered after all of this has passed.
I don’t think that there is a law that says you can’t have more than 100/500 people. I’m happy to be proven wrong.
It is just a “recommendation”.
But it is grossly irresponsible of the greedy operators (and indeed the idiots that went to Cheltenham) to do what they are doing.
Commercial interests seem to be facilitating large gatherings without major mitigation measures.
Anyone who has the most basic understanding of how disease is passed knows this is insane.
The government needs to declare a state of emergency if their ‘directions’ are being ignored.
Cheltenham returnees need to be locked in the Curragh Camp for a few weeks – after all if they were that fond of horses, there seems nowhere better.
And commercial operators would be well advised to not put the lives of wider society at risk, lest they become perceived as enemies of the people.
Jokes are over, time to be responsible.
Under what legislation? They aren’t illegal the government has just advised against them and most people have rightly taken that advice.
To be fair there probably won’t be 100 people at this yoke but they should cancel it. The virus doesn’t care if you’re defiant.
I am coming to the conclusion that there are different levels of stupidity- who knows, it might even be a 3D space.
Yup, though the pun referring how this fatal disease is shared while selfishly promoting a commercial gig likely to cause infection by such means is particularly cool.
Stay classy Mr Barry Hartigan.
Just give them poo reviews and doc them.
Barry seems to be a busy ballsy type of fella whomever he is, interesting chitter feed, here he is having a go at Three after they tweeted out an apology for the network outages they suffered whilst getting hammered during the mayhem on Thursday, his response:

This was a very unfortunate day for your service to go down! Will loyal customers get a discount on their next bill for their inconvenience? Still having trouble making calls and sending texts in Dublin city centre! Can you tell us when full service will be restored?
classy
Barry Hartigan, The indomitable.
Lets see how indomitable you are and all who show up, or more so the older friends or family, who after this action just may be touched by the reaper of Corvid -19.
Maybe you can donate the funds to an Italian hospital, or save it for our system of which you will have helped crash in few short weeks.
It is a shame, it is not virus for fools!
