Yeah they played the bodega in Cork on Monday - free gig, fantastic venue
and sister venue to the Savoy which is also worth checking. I saw them in
cuba on the wed. -full house. Cuba is a club in Galway - amazing gig
fantastic crowd response, etc 400+ there. Scene in places like Galway owe a
lot to the work of people like Paul tarpey, Hazo, Aran Mc Mahon etc.

hmm down to definitions here, what have you checked? Personally I would
highly recommend Velure on Saturdays in the Shelter/Vicar street. Check the
link for blurb
http://www.velure.com/velure_vicres.html
they also have a bar- modern green on wexford street which has djs
regularly, very varied musically but generally funky. Rainer Truby and the
great Paul Murphy have played with Velure in the last six months. Also check
anything that Claire Maloney is doing - she used be in HQ but that packed up
so check around. Anyone who wants to hear the velure radio show it is
normally on today/Thursday from 3-5pm irish time, around the world on
www.powerfm.org
If people are interested in more detailed info for around the country of
Ireland i can supply some more if u wish.
