I am recording the shows tonight. Only catching bits  and pieces.

I did see the Queen set , it was great.

What are the  other  highlights to look out for?

And who was  absent that day that should have been  there?

Philomena Begley

I feel a "top 3 absent bands from Live Aid" in the pipeline 🤭

Inxs got a run out and confirmed what everyone thinks about them, no sign of OCS.

That Queen set made everyone else look like the local Glee players having a go.

Nothing like sticking the arm in.

Supply and demand. Weak from mgmt, should have just said its temporary to cover extra staffing costs and whatever other BS they can think of. Same as people whinging about pints. You can choose not to eat there.

Some of the price hikes were disgraceful ffs. 27 quid for fish and chips.

Have thet gone back to original prices or split the difference? If they had stuck a fiver on everything it may have gone under the radar but some of the price increases stood out a mile.

Ate in 2 of these 3 bars/restaurants. Food just ok. Sorta ducked and dived the one the rat was in. Think they all got poor scores/stars on the door. Portrush problem is there so limited places to dine in.

Fair enough more than doubling prices is a wee bit OTT but no doubt visitors would pay.

Norn Irish folk are somewhat sheltered. For the quality of food thats normal there the price is low generally notwithstanding the post pandemic inflation lunacy.

The price is low...compared to where?

Not having that. We pay well over the odds compared to lots of countries. What I would say about here is that mediocre places seem emboldened to charge the same as good places so we don't have the same massive price differences you see in major cities.
