ok here goes I saw The Blizzards for the 1st time live at the weekend at Dub Castle . A friend brought me as a birthday treat .here is my problem I would love to goto some more of their gigs but I think i would get some funny looks from all you younger fans out there- i am nearly 40
Let me know what you all think .I have got asked at another gig in Temple bar music centre whose mammy are you !!! I wont say who the group were. I think the blizzard lads should do a older persons gig too as well as an under 18, I have a wide taste in music but dont want to look a **** at gigs usually aimed at 20 to 30 year olds generally . Your views please
No you cant be the oldest fan!! I've seen a good few older people at the gigs. And if you love the Blizzards thats all that matters!! Come see them at the Roisin in galway on the 2nd of June, might be a bit closer to you than Dublin...
The only thing stopping you from going is you. There are often people older then mid-20's at those gigs, so you going shouldn't be a problem. And I don't think they'd have a gig specifically for "older people", I think that's called age-ist!
Jus go along, you can stand at the back if you don't wanna be crushed at the front and enjoy yourselves
Thanks for all your nice comments ,unfortunately I cant goto the Roisin Dubh Galway gig as I have another family thing on the same night.I Went up to Dublin on Friday to see if i could track any down - I dunno if they I saw Bressie headin down Grafton st on the Fri night - didnt bother stopping him tho (he may have been running late to get to Trinity )I know they were doing Trinity ball ,1 of the others nearly couldnt get past security at Nassau st entrance even with the laminate thing he was wearing! Trinity was locked down tighter than Al Catraz on Friday ! If anyone from here managed to get to Trinity what time did The Blizzards go on stage ?
Its 80 beans for a ticket to the trinity ball, so they dont really want people just walking in off the street, they usually lock all the gates earlier that day and only let students in/out. The music doesnt start til after 10pm. Also the trinity security men are real ass-holes on a power trip at the best of times so thats why they were being stubborn at nassau gate...
