										Have recently become aware that John Walsh's show 'going underground' has been axed by Fm104. I am guessing that it was for the usual reason that listenership was low. So either the show was not good (which i would not agree with) or once again, with the exception of Today Fm's Pet Sounds, an alternative Irish show was axed because it was broadcast at yet another crap time and once again has become the victim of another corporate decision'. 
Just thought it was worth mentioning as John is a g... |  |  |  | 14 | 4443 | 4/6/2005 1:05 PM |

It has been a long time since I played in Ireland and a long time since I posted to this board, but a friend of mine and I would really like to come over and do a short tour in Ireland and Scotland this coming July
We've both played all over the US and mainland Europe and although we'd like to make some money, we just don't want to go broke
We really just want to play in front of the best audiences we can
If anyone can help, or has any ideas, please, please feel free to send... |  |  |  | 3 | 1693 | 4/5/2005 8:26 PM |

										With the new album due out soon enough 'Don't Believe The Truth', the media will soon swamp their pages on Oasis-related material, but the question needs to be asked whether or not Oasis can return to their blistering best Of course, it can be argued that they never were great but let's just assume that their first two albums were their best and the debate trying to unfold here is if they can recapture that same originality or quality.....
Is anyone even looking forward to their new material... |  |  |  | 41 | 6840 | 3/31/2005 12:17 PM |

										A while back we all had a discussion on the merits of the music played in a certain dublin establishment (no names).
One of my arguments at the time was that as I had paid money into the establishment, i was therefore availing of a service and I was therefore entitled to a certain level of quality.
In the times we live in, records labels spend fortunes marketing their bands, on tv, radio, posters, tshirts, record signings, world tours, etc.

1. Create a backup copy (for myself)
2. Copy it to my computer (or another one of MY computers/devices)for personal use.
