Hey BBB and fightingirish69; just out of curiosity how much Irish do you guys know/speak?
just what i learnt off building sites the last 20 odd years, which means if i wanna speak some Irish i juts drop in F's and C's everywhere! haha

i have that tattooed on my left shoulder
tis a powerful one to have

Looks like I'm gonna be at the Horden. Brian Setzer is in Melbs on the 2nd so I can commit to the Sydney show. What's the Horden like as a venue. f**king hate Festival Hall!

I've always liked the Hordern
started off with The Oils w/ Spy's and Warumpi's back in '84, onto Iggy, The Ramones, Janes Addiction, then The First BDO in '92 where it was everything you could hope.
Its sweaty,its dirty,
you lose your friends,
you make your stories.

I dropped acid in there that day.... Really wished I hadn't an hour later.
Nirvana ... Scared me.

Had to laugh at Shane's drunken walk. Opening with Streams of Whiskey was perfect!

I admit to getting a little teary during "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda". Was a bit surprised to hear them pull out "Bottle of Smoke" too! Epic accordion intro! Poor Paddy in the second encore was also a highlight!

I thought Sally MacLennane was awesome in the first encore (IIRC), as was sick bed of Cuchullain, Fiesta a good closer, whole set list was pretty good. Shanes singing voice got better as the night went on, needs an interpreter when speaking though!
