@braz83?

Kurt is one of our own, it wasn’t widely known that night,
It was wedged for Nirvana, who told you otherwise?

305

It wouldn’t be like Cork people to overstate things to make themselves look in a positive light.

Just waiting for comments about ‘people you know’ being there.

306

I’m sure it was wedged alright. Sure there must have been thousands there for it to see one of the best up and coming bands. Remember reading a piece about it last year or the year before where the promoter and manager of Sir Henrys laughed at how there was only about 20 people there for the gig and there were some at the back of the club drinking. He did buy them a take away out of hillbillies though, so got some local cuisine.

307

Christ almighty, serious crowd :smiley:
Just a gag about Kurt saying he had some Cork ancestry, forget it

308

Hilbillies wasn’t there till about 94

309

just another lying Cork langer to add to the list so

ah, in fact not. it became hillbillies, it seemed to have been called Bill and Bobs at the time

310

There was a pub called the forum there where hillbillies is now back in those days

311

Certainly not, the forum was another club under Henry’s
I’d say hilbillies was Murphs chipper then

What are you reading mate. Could you link it?

313

it was on an Examiner piece where they called it “now Hillbillys”

314

You’re right about the forum. The pub I’m thinking of was called the factory possibly? On grand parade

315

Never on that site anyway, possibly Frankie’s?

316

No it’s definitely the factory alright. Could have been called Doyle’s once upon a time too.

317

Correct

318

I’d say we’re all right, in 91 that would have been Frankie’s, then Doyle’s for a couple of years, the factory name would have been much later, almost up on Washington street, now called soho I think

319

Is preachers on Washington street still there? Was a great spot back in day too

320

People who dismiss nirvana as a one hit wonder are being grossly unfair. They had at least two good songs.

321

Tis, was great if you got the window seat
