Disgraceful comments on here. Decent band in my book and they are doing this for charity!
We should be encouraging more from the North to support the Republic despite backgrounds. These lads are not political and they are obviously in town to support the BIG so fair play to them.
On the music front, i saw them in the roundhouse Camden last year and they were a quality live act.
If you don't like their music fine, but leave the polictial rubbish out of this.

Seen them in B'Ham once for my b'day (which is coincidently the same day they're playing this gig in Gdansk). I was really looking forward to it but by god they were dull. Middle of the road dinner party pap dressed up as indie. Why anyone would want to ruin their Euro party watching this bag of wank I really don't know. Rather listen to one of you lot murdering a Christy Moore song in the pub thanks very much.
...and their lead singer supports a country that doesn't even exist. That's just plain weird.

Jaysus, lads are lettin off some steam here.
"country that doesn't even exist" - absolutely no need for a comment like that - look at the shaggin thread title, they're an Irish band doin a gig for charity. No problem whatsoever with lads sayin they're muck, everyone has different tastes. The sun is shinin lads, we're 2 weeks away from heaven, leave the northerners alone, have an ice pop and CHILL OUT! |

Exactly Jack, i don't like their music but i wouldn't knock their sentiment regarding the gig for charity. On the other hand i wouldn't knock anyone with other opinions of them, each to their own.

They will probably attract a number of the bandwagon crowd and lads who are bringing their other halves along for the holiday and if they do then good luck to them - A good charity will benefit which is the main thing and the rest of us who don't go to away games to go to concerts can get on with skulling pints.

f**king hell, they're not my cup of tea either, but if you don't want to go just don't go, no need to be sl*gging them off for doing a charity gig. Doesn't matter a f**k where they're from or who they support, they're going out of their way to support a charity.

im sure the bands expenses getting taken out of the tally. How much wil that cost? they would have been better off playing in a small gig in ireland, would have raised more money, that is why im suspicious about their motivations to do this!

No problem with the band, like some of their songs and they do allot for charity. Fair play for doing it for free but i think the price is a bit excessive. its ten euros cheeper then their irish gig and most people will get a nights accomodation and dinner for 50 euro in poland. i think 30 woud be fair. Would also nice too see some money going to a polish charity, Maybe some is and i missed it so apologies if im wrong.

As borussia said it suits some and not others.
Anyone goin with women in the group will get serious brownie points for attending this. Il be there for 10 days tis only 1 day out of the pub and away from the banter. Il get over it and the 50quid hit. |

Leave the northern politics out of this lads. In fairness, they don't seem to get involved in it from what I know. I do think the price is to high for a gig in Poland but the biggest problem with this gig
is it is on the same night as Holland - Germany. Maybe it's on late at night but anytime before 11pm
and i can't see many football fans going.

Some of their earleir stuff is alright but they've been shote for a few years now. Gary Lightbody made a couple of great albums with various guest musicians from the likes of Arab Strap, Belle & Sebastian, Idlewild, Mogwai, Mull Historical Society & Teenage Fanclub that were excellent under the name The Reindeer Section, well worth checking out. Saw some footage of their homecoming gig up the North on tv, he's not really suited for rocking out, voice is a bit weak, better suited for smaller acoustic gigs. The gig is way overpriced for Poland though, not a Noel Gallagher fan but his gig is €20, might head to that as heading back to the coast for a few days with the mot after the Italy game.... |

DO YOU SEE WHERE IT SAYS: IN AID OF DEBRA IRELAND Some of the comments on here are ridiculous, it's a charity gig. No one is making anyone go..
