| | About whelans 'commercialising itself'. It's a rock venue for f**ks sake! Of course it's commercial. Whelan's is far from 'cutting edge', it never has been. It has just played rock music. | | | |

| | Whelan's to me is just a default, reliable place to go. No surprises, you'll probably meet some people you know there and it's low on assholes. The ubiquitous setlist is only a pain in the arse if you're there every week. I don't know much about it's former glories but, as with nearly everything else in Irish music, I'm sure they were fairly minor glories. It's hardly Max's Kansas City.
As for the WLC, let them be. I'd rather them in Whelan's every week, in a safe little bubble, than touring Britain as representatives of our music scene. Throw a rock in this city and you'll hit a singer-songwriter. With a bit of luck, you might put a few out of action. | | | |

You might have a bit more luck with that if you used a heat seeking missile. | | | |
