Rockin’ Athlone castle
I just got back from a meeting with Bobby Hewitt, the organiser of the Athlone tri-fest - a weekend-long festival that encompasses a triathalon, concerts and loads of other festival madness.
But here’s the cool thing - the town council has agreed, for the first time ever, to allow a rock concert IN the castle.
And guess who’s playing?
That’s right - your favourite blogger of Kerbside fame.
It is going to be awesome.
Lights, stage, huge sound system and did I mention we’re playing IN A FECKING CASTLE. I mean, come on - how cool is that? We’ve been rehearsing with a couple of lads and will be playing as a supercharged 4-piece. This may be the most rock’n roll we’ve ever sounded.
Four other excellent local bands are playing on the night: MURV, My Fallen Empire, Makewait and a young Irish rock group who do hard rock as gaeilge - yes, in Irish. This I gotta see.
Tickets for the Saturday, June 14th, 8pm concert are only available at Music World in Athlone (call 090 64 74372) and are €15.
. . . or fire me an email and I’ll see if I can get one for ya if they’re not sold out.
