OK, who's heading to the Christmas Reunion on 28th December? Are people planning on heading straight into Radio City or going for a few scoops somewhere beforehand? Bruns.  Edit: Stupid alcohol making me make typos - D'oh! ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

I got lucky at the last reunion at the Button factory. I was the first one there, apart from Andy. He played Battle for Evermore just for me. One of my favourites. Thanks again, Andy. It was a special moment ------------- Life is for living |

Well girlfriend coming up for reunion and we're staying in the Issacs Hotel €75 for the room online or if you phone the hotel themselves its €115 for room... We should be in there early enough and there should be no problem going on an early pub crawl... ------------- "Legal downloads is killing Piracy" http://www.flickr.com/groups/th |

Was actually talking to Mel about this last night. But what the hell happened to the Nep? Is it open and closed when they feel like it? The last few times i tried that place it was closed  Was such a pain having to walk all the way to Bruxelles for a decent jukebox. ------------- "I don't need this, I'm not even supposed to be here today!" |

Totally confused by the 'Nep' situation, Shawn. I thought downstairs was open on Sundays. Maybe we should have met up in the Plough with Short Haired Hippie?

Haven't been in the Nep in a while but from talking to friends who are in more than me, downstairs is now only open on Sat nights due to lack of custom.  ------------- Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for Breakfast! |

Bruns,as I said to you,I went to the Plough to meet my mates,and they were playing a few Grove tunes like 'whole of the moon'and 'dont fear the reaper',but our plan was a pint in the Nep too,so we went over,and I believe the Nep is only open Fridays&Saturdays, but I bumped into Rolo.and Black Russian in Flowing Tide,so it was grand.And by the way the Plough is not a bad spot now,and what memories I have from the old days ------------- upon us all,a little rain must fall |

SHH, was never really a plough person myself - though the way the Nep seems to be going, I reckon it might become one of the staples for town meets from now on....

Bruns,I wouldnt make it a regular spot,but it was handy for radio city,there is better places,e.g Foggy Dew,but the Plough would be ok as a meeting place. did you see the photo DAYO took of us in the bar ?( at reunion ) brilliant ------------- upon us all,a little rain must fall |
