Gigs coming up

Iā€™m almost sure those shows are sold out. The second night in Dolans has tickets left alright.

Pavement

:thinking:

Not a fan?

I think Iā€™ve tickets for both Pavement nights, Iā€™m not sure.

Absolutely a fan!

I didnā€™t realise the gig was on. Iā€™ll be heading to it all going well.

Ticketmaster secondary market thing is a some chicanery. Fuckers are touting tickets.

Saw Aldous Harding the last time she was in town. Might have been the last live show Iā€™ve been at. It was good but very short.

Didnā€™t realise Arab Strap were coming to town, I need to have a good root through the Dolans listings

Iā€™m really looking forward to seeing Declan Oā€™Rourke in March though Iā€™ve a fair few gigs lined up between now and then, his new album is powerful

Arab Strap went on sale today.

@farmerinthecity think the two Pavement shows are sold out mate

How short? Up to around 75 minutes is perfect for me unless youā€™ve a serious back catalogue. 90 minutes grand as long as there are four albums at least in the cannon.

Some friends were supporting that crowd Villagers in Cork a good few years back. Villagers had two albums to their name at the time. They were about an hour in when I left because it was particularly boring. The lads said they played another hour after that. Thatā€™s ridiculous

In the words of Aimee Mann, ā€˜I shouldā€™ve knownā€™.

Less than an hour. Too short for paying punters and I despise the cult of the three hour gig. Particularly the 3 hour Bruce Springsteen gig.

Ah yeah. A Vicar Street gig should be c. 75 minutes (+).

Dermot Kennedy should be shot.

Seems an inoffensive chap. whatā€™s your beef?

Crimes against music.

Dermot Kennedy, that Scottish fella with the big head. Both sound exactly the same. The new bedwetter type music is shouting shouty vocals over a twee piano or guitar.
But there is plenty of good music out there. I donā€™t need to listen to these two lads.

Paddy loves the earnest singer songwriter. At the turn of the millennium, David Gray was the most popular act here. Let that sink in.
