Kneecap...

[general_lee]

Going to the gig next week where they are supporting the Fontaines. Can someone tell me what the fuss is with the fontaines. Tried to listen a couple of times but I just don't get it. Maybe they are better live??

I think Fontaines are brilliant. Their lead singer is in one of Kneecap's tracks.

I too didnt get the fuss but I let their songs play for a wee while to see if they grew on me.  They certainly did. They're brilliant.

Love Fontaines, give me them over Kneecap any day.

Anyone looking a ticket for Friday night in Belfast? Face value obviously.

EDIT - gone.

Belfast is absolutely pumping for this gig tonight. Lost count of the number of Ireland and Bohemians tops I saw floating around the Lisburn road earlier.

Walking up Boucher, passed the Windsor way, it was strange to see all the Celtic/Ireland/GAA tops

Good fun. Sound was dreadful. Apparently it was crap for CMAT and Sam Fender last night as well. Just not a great natural venue really at all from an acoustic perspective.

Stayed quite far back so maybe simply not close enough but it all seemed a bit tamer than I expected. Nothing remotely controversial or different from any of their recent gigs but I see Jamie Bryson has already been complaining about Mo Chara calling the DUP "simple c***ts".

If he's complaining they're doing something right.
