Ha ha ha ha ha alas no I'm not in the ads - just as well I think - they're funny though. The lads did an audition for the craic and then shat themselves when they got it - it was make yer mind up time and they decided that by doin it we could fund our next Single/Video/Album so said f*ck it. I just kept asking was there any free booze? Well...have to get yer priorities right eh?

Respect Duncan, I agree with all of those, throw in King Sativa and you don't need Witness, thats a festival in itself

#KINGSATIVA - definitely agree with that but Witnness seem to be ignoring them. They are such a festival band. I heard that they're being lined up for a load of European festivals so they might not be available anyway. I also heard Witnness were dumping the rising stage...is it true?

I reckon they should ask Scribble to play Wittness. Their album is deadly and I say them play an acoustic set in whelans on thursday and they are really tight with great songs. It would be class to see them on the festival stage.

I definitely reckon the Subtonics should play along with Jinx Lennon and a bit of Damien Dempsey would'nt go amiss.

Fred are pretty good - they'rw Cork alright but have played a bit in Dublin recently with the Forward the revolution thingey. You should check them out. Check out another Cork band as well though , Scribble. They are based in Dublin now i think but i've seen them playing in cork. They have an album out and its well good stuff.

Fred are a cork band alright. THey were playing the Forward the revolution thing around the place.You should check out another Cork band called Scribble though. THey are based in Dublin I think but I've seen them in Cork and they are great. They have an album out as do Fred. Both worth looking into.

Yep, the thrills are irish, but i sense a small bit of resentment to
them becuase of the route they took to stardom..noteably, bypassing
the irish scene. But thats their choice...
But coming back to ireland and expecting to be treated like rawk stars, thats just annoying..
cane141 are scottish but based in galway, so, surrogate Irish.
They are a good band though.

I think duncan and klootfan lists with king sativa ,ruby horse ,warlords of pez ,the jimmy cake, mumblin deaf ro and jinx lennon included.A festival on its own indeed.

Im a frames fan myself so let me state my disappointment that they not plying this year and i cant make it to Lisdoonvara. I only saw king sativa once when they played with the frames, damien rice, damian dempsy at the cluas gig last year. no doubt they are s**t-hot live and would definitely bring something to the festival but i'd also love to see jimmy cake as well though maybe thatd be too much sleepy stuff! theyll probably just get more british acts on in the end though.

What we should do instead of naming loads of different bands is get behind one or two and campaign for them.
As above I propose jimmy cake and king sativa?
what ya say?

Please not the Jimmy Cake - they are sooooo boring, plus they'll just bring all their mates and there will be no room for anyone at Witnness with there being 29 or so in the band.

Just saw Hi-Rise, the Things, Jalopy and Freaky Stylee recently and was well impressed by all. Add them to my previous requests of Clouded Mouse/The Mouse, Listo, The Subtonics, King Sativa and the Republic of Loose/Jonny Pyro.

Hi.Rise are supposed to be playing Witnness this year again - though no confirmation on day or time. Fingers crossed. Mundy was good alst year, I'm sure he's playin again this year - he's playin the Heinken Green Energy Weekender this weekend - with Stereophonics I think?

Ya we all know there are alot of good Dublin bands out there right......but why is it that the bulk of everything that turns out to be decent comes from Cork...is it the murphys...who knows
But I think that Fred(brilliant live band)Alan Swanwick and the God fearing folk, and Shambeunos should all be asked to play in some forms for the Wittness yoke, we cannot stand for this Dublin takeover bid its not right...I think its fear of hearing something different that scares Dubliners away...
Make the revolution happen Dubliners...dont be exclusive
