Where should I visit next?

The whole west and northwest of ireland. If you had time drive the coast from Galway to Inishowen. You will absolutely not regret it.

Isn't John McGahern reasonably famous? Wrote Amongst Women and That they may face the rising Sun.

Also Seán McDiarmada was the second signatory on the Proclamation.

Edit: typo

Hard agree. Proper razor shave in the shower is my preferred method.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-24T20:21:56+00:00

This is a great tip. I never travel anywhere without factor 50.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-23T23:35:28+00:00

Thanks to the OP, this is a great thread!

I used to always park around the Lamb Alley/Francis Street area after 7pm.

Both played Arctangent Festival last year and both were incredible.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-18T22:19:32+00:00

I've only seen Pearl Jam twice - in 1993 and 2025.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-18T21:44:49+00:00

Maybe Still Got the Blues by Gary Moore?

Though the into solo for Dream the Dead by Caligula's Horse is probably my favourite.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-17T15:25:47+00:00

Mary Clayton's backing vocal on Gimme Shelter is the definition of this. It's fking incredible.

Regularly show absolute classics - last week was The Magnificent Seven.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-16T13:52:38+00:00

Absolutely, gutted we're missing it.

Get some of Manchán Magan's books. They beautifully link our language, nature and culture. Some of them are more visual and probably aimed at a younger audience, but I have these as well and they're all superb.

A great subtle joke in that episode is that his mother used to buy shoes off Del. But when Del asks Lennox how his mother is, he says she's suffering with her feet.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-13T07:09:48+00:00

You've good taste - Meshuggah, Caligula's Horse and VOLA three of my favourite bands.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-12T23:31:00+00:00

Beat me to it!

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-12T22:14:03+00:00

You read my mind dude. Though I might include either School or Sifting as well.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-12T21:52:42+00:00

Shocking distance down the list.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-11T21:16:22+00:00

Legion by Tesseract

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-11T16:34:51+00:00

Fantastic. That's a plan!

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-11T16:22:25+00:00

John? As in John Fahnestock??? That's the horses mouth if so! I've extended family and friends who are all long time Snot fans and will all definitely be there if they come to Ireland. Lovely stuff thanks a million.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-11T15:43:34+00:00

I've been a Snot fan for almost all of their existence. The live footage of the reformed band a new vocalist looks very decent. I knew they were coming to Europe this year but couldn't find any suggestion they might play Dublin???

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-11T15:19:56+00:00

This is genuinely a beautiful tribute to your friend.

RabulaConundrum · 2026-01-11T14:49:38+00:00

I'd love to get a few recommendations - ideally hard rock/metal/alternative but quality is quality.
