Dunno about prices, but yeah, it's in the Academy. And don't worry about going on your own. It'd be worth it and ye'd never notice when ye get there!

I think tickets were like 20 euro on ticketmaster so around 22 or 23 with booking fee not that bad it's gonna be a great gig

wow 20 bob sounds very reasonable! any idea how long it'd go on for? any other artists other than brian and chuck ragan worth looking into?

yeah dan andriano and dave hause the other two guys on the bill. dave hause has a really solid album resolutions out at the moment well worth a listen and dan andriano is the singer from alkaline trio and some of his solo stuff is on youtube

Yeah, my last few posts have been gushing about Dave Hause so I hope my raving isnt getting annoying, but he's unreal. Get Resolutions, it's unreal. At the moment he's the one I'm most excited about seeing!

Am I right in thinking Dan hasn't actually realeased a full collection of songs? Just a couple over the last fw years?

And its well deserve his album is really good just hoping he pull out some acoustic loved ones stuff aswell. And id think Brian will pull out some horrible crowes stuff seeming as the albums out in september aswell not sure about dan andriano i know hes been putting a few songs up on youtube lately as dan andriano and the emergency room ( i think thats the name)

Yeah, Years From Now is fast becoming one of my favourite songs. I'll have to check out Dan soon enough, he's the only one I'm unfamiliar with, and I never listened to Alkaline Trio either.


So, what do you guys do with yerselves?

the whole albums great gotta say time will tell or cmon kid are my favourites though. Yeah im not too framiliar with dan either but hoping to be suprised in september. Theres a great video on youtube of dave and brian covering social distortion ball and chain hopefully we something like that in september.

Student in college music addict the usual haha how about the rest of yous?

Same as meself. Just finished the second year of colaiste, got myself sorted there with a great company for work placement for 3rd year, happy days! Used to live above in Whitehall but back in Drog for the time being while college is finished. You're hardly a LOI fan?

Hey, another Irish fan here!

Is it just me and the radio stations I listen to or do TGA get no airplay whatsoever in Ireland? I heard Alison Curtis play them once, but that's about it...

never once heard them played on the radio, and i'm not surprised. they're not very well known. good to have another celtic brother on board though

Hey, great to see another Irish fan!

First time i ever actually heard TGA was on Alison Curtis' late week night show on Today FM, that was a quality radio show! Think it was Great Expectations or Old White Lincoln

Yeah, same here. I remember hearing Old White Lincoln for the first time on that show. It was a real "I'da Called You Woody, Joe" moment!
