joe maroneys 32 seater air conditioned bus driven by the apbtly named dave the rave(purely cause it rhymes) sets of on its maiden voyage to kilkenny for the opening gig of the faction tour. Half way there bresies sanity is tested due to both the excessive heat on the bus and dave the raves insistancy on listening to country fm 102.6 for the journeys entireity. Dolly Partons 9-5 finally pushed bressie to the edge. good start
arrive at the venue to find pa not worth a bollox. fisher price mics and speakers that hum like dorans boxers. All good, phil the soundguy sorts it out and gig went well . However, i think for the first time since we all the bands met today was the first time we got to witness the quality of the bands on this tour. we will have to be on top of our game to keep this company. unfortunately one of the dudes from republic of loose was sick so they wont be joining the tour till next week but the marshal stars , director and dc pakt showed everyone the quality scene brewing in ireland at the moment.
finish gig, on bus, two hours of country fm and some brutal low budget crap film to arrive in limerick at next venue. dolans.
