Gwan, give us a clue. Like, what nationality or whether act has played in Cyprus Avenue or in Cork before.
'Influential', hmmm ........has to be The Velvet Underground......... ....if not, then I'm guessing either Echo and the Bunnymen, The Only Ones or the Jesus and Mary Chain ?
Well maybe if Lou Reed really likes Cork after his next visit he might consider returning and maybe even dig up Nico!
Only Ones might play if you offer them enough heroin. (Have you seen Peter Perret lately! )

Ah sure he's looked like that for the last 25 years. I actually saw them the last time they played in Cork (and only time as far as I know). It was in the Arc around 1979 or 1980 and U2 played support.

That must have been an amazing gig! Thats way before U2 went up their own asses and around the time Only Ones were at their best.
Seriously, though, how can someone who has been taking Heroin that long still be able to play. They even toured this year!
