Was at the Life Festival there last month. Great spot for a weekend of music and madness. There was supposed to be another event happening the following week though but there was issues with licencing or something and it had to be relocated. Lovely place though!

All atrocious Irish acts,with the exception of Neosupervital. The Chapters are not bad either. What are the brilliant Ten Past Seven doing there? And they're at the bottom of the bill. I'm all for festivals for Irish bands but this just misses the mark totally and this 'competition' just seems like a lame attempt at publicity.

Too many ppl putting festivals together, seemingly just for the sake of putting a 'festival' together. Feeding off Elec Pics success. Not enough high standard Irish bands to make any one festival fantastic either. Well, there are. They are just overlooked. Neosupervital is getting old now. That Rachels song is bland, and I've seen him 3 times, and he's like a comedian now. Same old routine. Granted I saw him 3 times in like 2 weeks so maybe its cos of that. I'm also just bitter that I can't make Elec Pic this year. Only other Irish festival, I really like going to is HWCH. Doesn't matter that they choose some awful bands to play. They also choose great bands, and there's a deadly atmosphere around the whole thing. Cannae wait for it.
