Plenty of scumbags down there on a Saturday Uprise are gonna get an Earful if ya ask me! Ah no sher we've played there before with Skin Draft who are heavy too, the most they do is sit there looking pissed off playin poker on a machine outa ther heads drunk and tutting between songs and then breaking into random laughter as they play poker. Tis fairly funny and distracting to watch.

Ok. Bitta bad news about the gig in the ridge. Went in today with Darcy just to put up a few posters on the doors of it and make sure everything was good to go when we noticed that the backroom was full of builders and there were bag of cement strewn around by the door. Seems they decided to put in a new fucking floor and do a few renevations! Oh and they also built a new wall in where the bands usually set up. FUCKING GREAT.
So we talked to the builders who reckoned the job would be finished this coming saturday (the day of the gig) and then we went to the bar where this extremely thick ignorant one said the owner expected the back bar to be closed for another three weeks, even though he had happily taken our booking in his diary a week ago.
We'll find out on Friday whether it's all systems go as planned or if it's called off.
Conveniantly we had put up flyers in any available shop windows from North Main street to here before we found out what was goin on with the renevations. So we were to be fucked if we were retracing our steps takin em down!
If ya read this can you please spread the word cos nobody wants anybody to travel any distance to a gig only to arrive and find it cancelled. That feeling SUCKS! Believe me!
Cheers. oh and watch this space! Bigtime!!!

I hate that bitch. If she has her way the gig will be cancelled, she cancelled a load on us before. The owner has no problem with gigs in there, its just her.

This is the youngish one? She was a right bastard to us when we were talkin to her. Please fuckin god it'll still go ahead. What I cant believe though is how yer man could have taken the booking without mentioning or realising that the fuckin florr was due to be torn up in the comin week! It's not like it's somethin easily forgotten like!

Ah a bit o good news. Went down today. Talked to the builders who are extremely sound, they basically said the floor will be finished tomorrow evening and it'll be painted n all by the time they leave friday.
Only thing is the seats around the room kinda on the walls, are being replaced and wont be fitted by time the gig is to go ahead. Which basically means, the whole room is one big pit...!
Of course we'll have to try and sell this to the owner tomorrow... We may see can we scrounge some kinda seating arrangement! Even if we have to bring a fuckload of chairs ourselves!! Ther'll be barstools in there though so we might be ok.
If yer man the owner is in there tomorrow and is in good form we should get the venue. Everybody please consider the gig still on. Cos it's lookin 70:30 in our favour right now.

Lads, the gig is officially off.
Nothing we can do. The ridge reckon the room is not ready as it aint furbished and would be regarded as a 'safety hazard' for a gig to be held in there. We then tried the Sky & the Ground to see could we try to book their function room for tomorrow but they dont have the staff to cover it. (Although they did express interest in perhaps having gigs in there in the future...). At about 11pm tonight we desperately wandered the town looking for anywhere we could put this gig on. There were either bouncers or locked doors so we said fuck it.
Man Down play the Dun Mhuire tomorrow night if anyone here is arsed catching us. (It aint the Ridge, but it'll do).
This gig will probably still happen in a few weeks cos the owner of the ridge was apologetic enough and said he'd be happy to facilitate us in a few weeks so all might be good yet.
Lets just say the gig is postponed!

Tis a Shame, & The Sky well they had no staff on tuesday night for the song club and that went ahead, it was self service at the bar and i hope they got the money i left for the few bottles i took. Dun Mhuire not my kinda place to be honest.
