I’ve never heard of any band after Damien Dempsey.
H’well now. Someone’s obviously never been to a wedding/work do/Open day/Communion/Bowling Alley Opening/21st/Funeral/referendum count night/Swine flu party/Christening/Agricultural Show/Anniversary/festival/pub west of the Shannon if they’ve never heard of Big Generator!
You’ve never heard of Radioactive Grandma? Ah they’re fantastic. Sort of like a dubstep cross between Slovak Panther and Richie Fray and his Midnight Hamelts.
What exactly does ‘independent’ mean, in this context?
No sponsors, so the bands aren’t getting paid.
Also – IT shouldn’t be counted as a festival when it’s individual tickets per performance?
HamsandwicH
Is this a GAA thing now?
No, just dire screeching…
That Travis Oaks band are pretty good.
