can anyone help out
Does anyone know of any good Irish Bands ............ cheers Jx
Chieftans used to be quite reasonable Jackie, as were the Undertones, U2,Clannad Oooooooh You mean to gig at your place?Haaaa HaaI'll have a look, but there may be one or two bands on here that would fit the bill. DAMSEL IN DISTRESS FFLLAS !!!!!!!
The Nolans! They live in Blackpool dont they?
To be sure...OK, I'll get my coat.Rob
Thought they had all gone to Iceland. Pass us me coat Rob
Celtic Cross.....they are a duo but will get your place rockin.Think they are on here too but they have their own website 01254 875301 and its either Mark or Ian. Also T F L's singer Roy Kelly is of Irish descent.....does that count :->.....so you could book us...www.myspace.com/tflrockband
Haha.....just what I'd expect for a monday....and to make it worse me son has just suggested 'Jedward'......!!!!! There is a fantastic band in the Liverpool area but I can't remember their name - so maybe they are not that good lol... Keef this damsel never gets stressed lol - lifes to short for that x
lol, hey my dads irish, I never thought of him - then again he would empty the place!!! Cheers for that, will check em out jx
The Bachelors then?? but seriously there's The Bogtrotters...although probably booked up for next ten St Paddy nights. best bet is to go to a folk club and dig somebody out of there for their annual outing LOL
lol....just trying to keep 'some' regular customers happy...still not got round to seeing you yet !!!Maybe I should give em regulars a shock lol x
I think you should! We actually do a couple of Van the Man songs (albeit when he was with Them)...I could bring my acoustic and do a bit of twiddly diddly stuff..and I drink Bushmills now and again...got a bodhran too LOL (used to run a folk club actually!) check out my Buskers Ball on Google
www.thebigfishband.co.uk 6 piece rock 'n roots band ..... already booked in for The Hindley Arms on the actual Paddy's night, so will have a complete Irish (traditional & rock) set ready. I think we're free on Sat 13th ... shall I find out?? Willow
Jackie, You just had an offer from the most unusual band on here (according to another blog that is).Alecs Night Train for a fun St Paddys night? I should say so. Now if I was booking a band for the Eddy that night they would be my first choice.
Get Rattle & Hum, the u2 tribute band on: www.rattleandhum-u2tribute.co.ukI was in U2-II, the band who did hindley arms paddy's night last year, seemed to sit really well with the irish theme.Just my t'penceG
I still havent seen Night Train....shame on me....I've seen lots of videos but would love to watch them for a full gig...whens the next gig at the Eddy? Our place Keef is quite different from the Eddy, I think.....they have the joy of being nearer town centre which definitely attracts a different crowd from us. In saying that, we have learned loads this past year and perhaps getting the place full to capacity (smaller than Eddy) for Night Train should be my next aim lol.....x
The O'45s - LOL
Poppin by tomoz J, bit of note swopping/Owt I can do to help, just ask
Excellent Keef, I look forward to it. What time roughly so I can make sure I'm there lol (we don't live on premises) and it Tuesday night - my night for having a wee drink lol x
I'm in town between 11;00 and 2ish J.Most prob nearer 1 ish at the Old Bank.
No probs, I'm not usually there untill night time but will make sure I don't miss this one - I get to see daylight tomorrow lol x
Hey J don't go changing your schedule just for me, I'll pop by and if your there great if not I will sneak out later in the week early eve.
No its fine Keef, got the accountant early doors so will be out and about lol x
Its a date then J. See ya tomoz
aye up! Uncle Keef's pulled!!
Heeee Hee !!! Putting myself on the line and making life simple straight forward and uncomplicated for all you guys out there. Always put bands and Venues first Thats me !!
lol, a date it is then Keef, noticed I did even say uncle Keef either ;)
Right bunch of jokers on here J,lol But rock solid rockers who I am proud to call pals.
Hey, they're a fab crowd and I wouldn't be in the position I'm in now if it wasn't for these guys......love em all and over the past year I've only ever had one bad experience from a guy on this site.....just wish I could get out more to see the other bands lol x
Im taking bookings for around st pats, make your party unique , I can play some Irish reels and jigs 15 mins set either GHB or Irish smallpipes www.boltonbagpiper.co.uk
there ya go...Night Train, me doing acoustic and Dazz on the pipes...might even do Copperhead Rd..now thats a package and a half! Cost ya though LOL
Nice to meet and chat earlier today Jackie. Hey guys, this is one music lovin lady !!!Nice pub, with loads of space to spread your gear out in.

Major big thanks to Keef - learned loads today (jeez why do I find myself laughing here (sumit to do with other post, maybe???).....we were being very serious, honestly.
