CLUAS Readers' Poll 1999
Miscellaneous Stuff
The rest of the categories are here. The best'n'worst Venues, the Events and Non-events of the year and - to warm the cockles of your heart chambers - the Best Pubs.
Best Venue |
|
|
1 Olympia |
 The
Olympia? It did a fine job this year hosting, as always, a sea of ace
gigs - Mercury Rev, Wilco, The Transmission shows, Duran Duran(!), Gomez
- we could go on. Vicar Street and Slane both came in joint second.
And Whelan's had the pleasure of being joint fourth with the intimate
warmth of the Point Depot. |
|
|
|
Worst Venue |
|
|
1 Point Depot |
 Yeah.
The voting pattern suggested that this category belonged to the Point.
The troubling acoustics of the TBMC seems to have alienated a few gig-going
voters this time around. The Olympia, fresh from its success as 'Best
Venue', pops up again (in true CLUAS Readers' Poll style!) in the 'Worst
Venue' category. Whelan's gets to see the light of this category as
well. |

|
|
Event of the Year |
|
|
1 MTV Awards |
 Okay.
CLUAS is now assuming there was something radically cool about the MTV
awards that we missed. We are hoping that members of the electorate
who know better might be able to take the time out to enlighten us.
Maybe they were thinking of Iggy Pop's slot? The mind is boggling. The
number of votes for the Northern Ireland peace process were more re-assuring. |
|
|
|
Non-event of the Year |
|
|
1 Millennium |
 It
hasn't even happened yet and it was a very, very clear winner for non-event
of the year. And the MTV awards coming in at 2nd place? Now that's more
like it. |
|
|
|
Best Pub |
|
|
1 Stag's Head |
 It
looks like Dublin 2 holds all the drinking cards of consequence. For
the CLUAS heads anyway. |
