I'd imagine the back bar is fairly empty during the gigs. Jimbo - Unfortunately, I don’t think Tripod are in it for the music, but that’s a workable solution.

Don't understand why they don't shut the main venue bar in Tripod during a gig and open the bar in the lounge behind it. That way everybody can still get a drink and have a chat in the lounge if the gig is not to their liking. I managed to wangle my way up to the front after a couple of tracks and really enjoyed the rest of the gig.

We need a facebook group or teeshirts. I didn't know Conor was so multi-talented. Wonders never cease. Right, we are all agreed: death to the yabbering hipsters.

That way - any jabbering gobshite liggers at the bar are guaranteed to be going home in bodybags :-) Jim - might I suggest you bring Conor along to the next gig by someone with an understated/underamplified performance style you go to (your shout).

After paying a hefty sum to see Gil working his magic, the last thing one wants is to listen to a group of wankers talking about test scores and laughing smugly when being schusched. I hope they spread lethal fucking STD's around their incestuous group of student hipsters and die of diseases that is equally painful and humiliating.

Did you get the dates wrong? Donagh: Yikes! I didn't know about that at all. http://www.counterfire.org/index.php/news/1-latest-news/4764-gill-scott-heron-cancels-israel-gig "Speaking on-stage at London's Royal Festival Hall, Scott-Heron told the audience he “hated war” and, in a lengthy monolougue, told the packed audience his Israel tour date would not be going ahead." Sounds like he made a mistake there and made it right. Good stuff. Mike: I'm with you. There was a hipster dude in front of me I wanted to beat to death with a rock for yabbering to his mates. And the racket from the punters at the bar... Next time GSH comes to town, I'm bringing my rock. David: Not sure what you’re trying to say there. Did you get the dates wrong?
