If you are going, don't forget to secure that all important shag on the grass in front square in full view of the photographers from the Sunday World who then publish said photo of you on the job, claiming that you are the kind of pond scum the esteemed college is educating in order to run the Banana Republic of a Country we call 'Ireland'.

Hey If anyone is at the ball early, my band "Business" will be opening the main stage at half ten. cheers

Who else is playing this year? Always enjoyed this night as it (used to be) jammed with local bands and always one or two act about to become really famous. Some particular favs were Pop Will Eat Itself, Jeff Buckley & a storming set by Therapy? in front of about 50 people ( they were 1st on the main stage at about 11PM, there was nobody there. Following year they were one of the biggest acts in Ireland/Europe)
