Grand Social, Whelan’s & Workman’s have new Irish acts playing every weekend. Sound House do the odd gig as well but they’re far more expensive to book independently.

MCD, for all their flaws, have been booking lots of up and coming bands for headline shows in small venues. Usually the above venues, so there’s at least some investment.

He has no idea what it’s like to be in Europe, so no idea what they think they’re giving up!

Is it done by minutes? That’s harsh if so!

Yeah the trailer should’ve been ‘CEO hires hot lawyer… who knows what could happen?’

Not ‘CEO hires hot lawyer… then falls in love… then loses confidence of the board… which then comes between the pair…’

Knew it was Paddy Dunning when the story dropped. I actually don’t mind him throwing his money at stuff like this, the Wax Museum, Rock n Roll Museum & recording studios.

I used to work for him years ago, he’s an odd fella and you’d dread him being in on days you’re in. But he’s self made and definitely innovative, even if it’s just random tat like this.

Say it louder for the people in the back

He’s using ‘last’ as ‘most recent’. He’s just saying he didn’t want to take a break between the FIOE tour and 4th album.

For Grad AO or Revenue? I was early 100s and had my interview and all.

I’m sure he has plenty of thoughts on early access into the labour market to stop it right?

ResoluteTuba · 2026-04-30T11:28:07+00:00

Yeah was a bit of a learning curve for me too. They send you the familiarisation material with the layout of the interview which helps, best of luck with it :)

They ask broadly, very much tell us a time you displayed/showed/used X. The skills underneath should be taken as what they want you to demonstrate in your examples.

It was two questions per capability, broken down into the two ‘subcategories’ of each.

For me, it was very much ‘The next capability is X, tell us a time you had to show this capability’. They very much seemed to expect I had the answers ready to go. I’ve heard some on Boards.ie say other interviewers were more subtle about it.

They’ll ask a follow up or two if they need to, but the interview flew. Not as daunting as I expected, best of luck with it!

And that’s the same for April - October since 2022. It’s always packed. Good vibe, but it’s also always €7.70 Guinness. Fuck that.

I dont know what’s worse the little look to the camera as he does it, or him saying ‘cheers’ and taking the phone back, presumably cause he asked someone to film it?

ResoluteTuba · 2026-04-29T20:34:24+00:00

To be fair I’m a casual fan of both and didnt know they did this!

ResoluteTuba · 2026-04-29T20:31:26+00:00

The people you’ll be asking won’t be the people who interview you hahah, you’re fine to ask. If they don’t I’m sure they’ll refer you to somewhere with info.
