The Dun Mhuire rip bands off definetly. first off its €8 to get in. that is ripping every kid off that goes there! i hardly have enough money to get in ever. next you have the caretaker. He is in charge of all the money they get in. the dun mhuire gigs usually get 60-120 people into it... thats like €800 in anthonys hands. staff(door, lights, sound)-€100-€200 sound system-Free lights -Free Dun Mhuire-Free where does the rest of that money get off to? he gets you bands to do all the advertising, all the work, he charges you €5 if your not playing but your in a band. He does fuck all. He is fucking exploiting you people. sure its a good place to play. but there is also the ridge and the arts centre(i think they dont do those anymore) but still. Do you not think you may need a bit of cash from these gigs? Don't you wanna afford better equipment to increase the pleasure for fans?? you people need to start a revolution.

seriously your gonna have to stop mouthing off about stuff you know nothing about. have you been at a gig lately? i was at the last god zero gig with my friends and we WERE the crowd. the dun mhuire generally makes losses at gigs cos nobody goes anymore. and they have to pay for both the lighting and sound. give em a break, im greatful to have somewhere to play and go on saturdays.

i would'nt know anymore simply because i find it a rip off. sound and lighing is'nt that much though. Trax do both for like €200. they provide that sound dude. im saying if he were to lower the price to say €6 it would attract more people. id rather get drunk with eight euro. if he isn't making any profit why would he still be doing them??

firstly i agree that wexfords music scene needs to be broadened. but people who were slaggin off those posers, think how little people would be at gigs without them. and as for there being nothing to do xept drink+drugs, you are sad. go for the fuckin music for a change. yeah, im talkin to all the people who hang in the alley and never watch bands. haha i know who frodo is coz i recognize him as a rising star in the world of the lead guitarist of such bands as Downfall. also toe toe you bastard stop sending me emails when your off your face

cian i dont even remember sending you anything. sorry. I don't drink outside the dun mhuire any more either. its cold and i don't like anybody there. I drink at home now. i'm in a band. its only started. we might take the name I.D.F. but you all know the dun mhuire is a rip off. if you people in bands that play in wexford want to make a better scene you should play somewhere cheap! ie the ridge

you can have early gigs. the ridge is a bit small but it would cramp everyone in. i've been to really good ridge gigs and really bad ones. the good ones were better than any dun mhuire gig ive been to. Im gonna get Easpa Measa (that hardcore band from dublin) to play in the ridge for the 26th of february. would downfall play? its either you's or hostile. this will hopefully be one of those good gigs.

well its not really my place to decide on my own but you should probably get hostile to play instead since they cant play in the dun mhuire. i shall consult the others and talk to you tomorrow about it

you better not book the 26th of february cause i'll kill you then. I dont think our band is ready for any gigs. we don't have a bassist yet. we only have about 3 or 4 songs written as well.
