Check out FIGHTING WITH WIRES myspace, and you can see a couple of their videos and reviews.  Very impressive stuff and will be a real treat at the festivel.

What time will the gates open at? Would it be fair to say all the crap bands will be on early on, with the likes of Ash & openheimer later on?

[billy the kid]

Easy on there lad.  Gates open at 12 noon. some deadly bands are on early enough (3 or 4 oclock) and like any festivel the smaller acts will be on the stages earlier building up to the bigger acts like ASH oppenheimer and fighting with wire.

But the craic in the campsite goes on from friday evening right through to sunday with plenty of guitars and singing thrown in for good measure.

by the way check out the videos on www.glasgowbury.com and at glasgowburys myspace (there is a link from the aforementioned homepage) and you will get a feel for the size of the event and the great crowds that are going to be present.

You frickin are Paddy Glasgow!!!! 

[billy the kid]

IM def not Paddy Glasgow just a music lover who loves these type of events and think anyone else who does should head as this truly is a gem.  Been to every single one so far and they just keep getting bigger and better.

HS you smart ass the concert is in South DERRY not the east end of Glasgow as Im sure your aware. but very witty all the same

[billy the kid]

Its not in Bellaghy so that would be a little silly.

I dont think you would like it anyway theres nothing at it but good music (mostly rock orientated) good craic, good people, good eye candy and loads of drink. Wouldnt be your scene. Far better to stayat home put the slippers on and watch emmerdale or heartbeat.

the man who runs it and organises it is called Paddy Glasgow - Glasgowbury.  Theres another similar but a bit smaller one in England that copied this Idea but due to patent laws they had to call theres Glastonbury.

Depends. Did he roast ya?

He scored 3-1 from left half forward. Is that what you meant by roasted?

[saffron sam2]

Would've clipped him if I could have caught him.

I may have done (the NI bit), but I left the keeper's gloves at home that night.

Aye fair enough about decent bands being on early enough. What time was it all over at last year??
Are there any decent bars around Ballinascreen that would be good to get liquored up in before heading into the grounds??
