His twitter musings about sport such as golf certainly panned out well.
Iād say the 4 of us are deemed too mainstream by lads like Bandage and dowd who have better things to do like shmoking down the back.
Glad you enjoyed it pal. Iāve never brought somebody to see them not come away a fan. They make a living playing their own songs. How bad is that?
Fall the fuck in. Unless you fumble in the greasy til of the Desmonds and the like, youāre not worthy.
I found it absolutely brilliant. Iād have gladly paid a hundred quid a ticket. It was a fantastic night. Iād really recommend it.
O dowd does a decent running impression of nigel farage. Id wager they are very similar.

Wouldnāt be my cuppa but the two boys live about 10km up the road from me and are well liked locally. Always thought they were from Donegal for some reason until recently
Newry as you know. I hear they live in carlingford lough these days. They are honestly well worth seeing live. Give it a try.
Yep. Theyāre in Carlingford alright. Played an old church there a few months ago. Truth be told, Iād only know āmaryā and wouldnāt care for it much
Well live at vicar Street is where its at with them. If you donāt like any of it, you may not just get them, but the current show is as much an autobiographical story as anything. I found it warm, funny, personal and intimate, and they are just great entertainers and musicians. To have it about them to play at the peak in front of a measly audience on a Thursday night in a basement in Manchester, giving as much of themselves as they would in a stadium full, speaks volumes for them.
Lads here think theyāve wasted their lives not filling in gaps in a ledger in some overlit cubicle on the second floor of a flat pack six story down the back of the ifsc, but like @TheUlteriorMotive says, theyāve made a living performing their own songs across the globe, and seem utterly content. We all had a brilliant night. They were told to stop by management after about two hours. Iād have loved two more, and Iāve seen some of the so called greats, who Iāve been willing to finish up.

Go and see them pal. They are at the very least a really good night out. At best youāll meet me and @flattythehurdler at a gig one day. Iāll be the one not looking for @Fagan_ODowd

There are few events in life that donāt move flattytweehurdler or prompt him to tell strangers how heād have gladly paid quadruple the price to experience it because he can afford it.

The Toploader reunion tour at Didsbury Leisure Centre will be epic
Thereās a serious want in lads chasing live music all over the placeā¦ The need to be part of something or have a shared experience. It really speaks volumes about these lads livesā¦
tis grand when youāre in your 20s and full of beer but you simply canāt beat the studio recorded album sound versus going to see most of these people live, which is generally an inferior product.
Obviously, some of the older bands can be an exception here as they have it down to a teeā¦ but live music is by and large for faggots.
Ah lovely 
Thinly veiled, Princess wonāt let me go to gigs anymore

It was a tenner in mate. Iāve paid a hundred to see utter shite in the past. That is all.
Heading to the Whisky a Go Go tomorrow night to see Oingo Boingo. A blast from the past.
I have it on good authority he orders his sausage roll in Greggs every morning in a very understated way, youād never know he was loaded

Bummer, had a great time at it last year.
