Enjoy. I've never seen them or even bought any of their records, however i do know i like them, so it's just one of those odd things that i've never made any purchases. Should be a riot.

I'd have thought a pint of Murphy's would be your beverage of choice.

Proper Guinness is the only drink known to man that is so thick, you can stand a spoon upright in it!

Seriously, when poured properly, it takes about 20 - 30 minutes to do correctly. You start by pulling about 3/4 of a pint, and then you need to put it to one side and leave it to settle before finishing it off. The longer you leave it, the better. If we were opening at 12:00 mid-day, I would be down at 11:30, lining up pints behind the bar, ready to finish them off when the doors were opened and someone would request it

i would love that, but most pubs near where i live don't do draught; only the cans and that water vibrating thingy and it's horrid

Dropkick Murphy's last night was amazing, great show great selection of old tracks and so damn energetic. the support band was great as well, the frontman doing a guitar solo with a bottle of beer and then chugging it down.
if you ever get a chance to see them do it.

Booked for KOBRA AND THE LOTUS at Camden London in December.
Saw them as support for DELAIN last year and their new album 'Prevail I' is excellent.

I hear U2 played The Joshua Tree in full to a sell out 80,000 crowd in Dublin last night to mark it's 30th anniversary.

I'm glad i wasn't there!

Side one is timeless and as good as any rock album can be, but side two, well, that's all a bit dull really.
