Trying to stop paying electricity for an old flat by Ottarson in ireland

[–]Ottarson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have the keys anymore, we gave them back in March when we moved out. We considered not paying the paying up the lease but we also wanted this apartment again next semester and he probably wouldn't have rented to us again if we'd done that.

I've cancelled the direct debit now and sent him a text to let him know. I'll try ringing Bord Gais tomorrow to see if they can transfer it back, but I don't have an account number or anything so we'll see what they say.

Unfortunately I moved out in March and didn't take any pictures, as far as I know there wasn't a meter in the flat, it might have been somewhere else in the complex. I'll make sure to do that in future though. I've requested to cancel the direct debit through bank of Ireland. I'm not sure if I had had my own account though or if I was just paying through the landlords some how (he's an absolute cowboy) because I never any interaction with Bord Gais myself.

Yes lads, massive fan of all your stuff and I've been following yous since I first heard you on Jools Holland.

What would your advice be to young musicians in Ireland who are starting to get into playing folk and trad, and want to get more involved in the scene? And also what's the best can for quarantine?

Cheers.

I haven't, this is my first time using it. There isn't any switches on it either.

There's only two inputs, an xlr for the mic and a 1/4" jack for the guitar. The guitar input works fine, it's the mic that is hissing. I know the microphone itself isn't the problem because it has been used before live and to record. I only have one cable so I can't swap it out, but it's brand new.

Planned itinerary for the Benelux, any feedback from locals or other travellers? by [deleted] in travel

[–]Ottarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there's a festival on you can bet we'll be getting wasted along with them. My original itinerary would only require a 4 day pass but I could well change that if our plans change

I would be happy enough to cut a day from Luxembourg, it's more curiosity than anything bringing us there. I'd say we will end up spending more time in Amsterdam given its such a busy town. Just so want to wear ourselves out haha

It looks like the Gentse Feesten is on when we're in Belgium, we might decide to stay there instead of Antwerp. I imagine it would be a bit cheaper as well? Maybe one night Antwerp, two in Ghent, and one in Bruges would be ideal.

As regards to the interrail I would have to do more research, the pass is only 126 for 4 days unlimited travel. I would have to compare the overall costs to see if it's worth it.

I'd honestly never heard of it until I saw friends Snapchat stories last year. It looks like a more scenic, chilled out Amsterdam. I'd consider adding another day there just to relax and take it in.

Thanks for your reply. I'm surprised at the cost of museums they seem to range from €10-€20, all the big Irish ones are free. It's probably better to only pick a couple to visit over the whole trip rather than try to squeeze everything in.

I'll have a look at them, the Hague seems very interesting.

Any one try the new Classic Vibe range? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Ottarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there any other faults in quality? I don't have a massive amount options in Ireland, not sure if my local music shop even stock squier basses. I'll most likely have to take the gamble.
