But its a cool festival all the same! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
broc Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Well I'm in Drimnagh Dick so just around the corner from me too. Can't say I'm thrilled about a festival date though, don't like them so much, short sets and poor sound. Was hoping for a Vicar Street date. Oh well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kagee Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm not happy with a festival date either but I'll take what I am given. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
