I saw an elsebound train, on the overpass
In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can't go
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It's the price of living motion, what's beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall.

This may not be true, and I'm sorry to be negative, but according to a girl I know who was at another gig here..... there is NO bar and NO drinking allowed! :shock:

...and it's called 'Leisureland...'?

Might have a look into this though - went over to Ireland for the Roisin Dubh gig in February and had a fantastic time.

Ok... I rang Leisureland...

The girl told me:

(a) She could see no record of an upcoming Richard Hawley gig.
(I know that doen't mean anything though, I am sure it is happening).

(b)It IS true about the ban on booze!!!
She said it's possible that an artist can get a special licence, for example, when Shane McGowan played there in the past few months, his 'people' acquired a special licence allowing them to have a bar at the venue.
(Not a huge surprise re: Shane McGowan! :*: )

So, it could well be a tee-total night!
Wouldn't put me off though!

ok, well safe to say there won't be a bar then, does anybody know if there would be a boozer within walking distance or whatever. i don't mind so much as I rarely drink during a gig but a pre and post gig pint or 3 is kinda tradtion. :twisted:

According to ads in Irish newspapers, this gig's venue has now changed to the Radisson SAS Hotel in Galway.

Google Map records no Pubs near the Lough Atalia[?] Road...

Tho' the centre of Galway isn't far off...

I wish I was going...

But work and a lack of holidays is getting in the way...

I think i'm going to give the Errigal Arts festival a miss and head to this instead. Its a fucking nightmare trying to get up to Letterkenny but with this its just 3 and a bit hours on train and your there.

your not wrong, if you wanted to stay in the Radisson itself its 150 a night for the standard room, we get a corporate rate with them in work which i could use but even still going to be looking elsewhere methinks.

you should all stay at the fabulously stylish "g" hotel in galway, if the gig is in the radisson its just across the bay and the "g" would organise pick up , i am sure. the "g" is amazing, every whim answered to! richard at least deserves to stay thre, whatver about the rest of us mere plebs.
philip treacy, hat maker designed it, so worht a look. :) :shock: cocktails aare to die for
