Pubs reopening June 29th

[Heraldo]

Tickets were €84 including a "collectors ticket" that hasn't arrived yet.

Great buzz around the place all the same though. It'd be great to have more artists of this calibre in Cork, but unfortunately Aiken have the ambition of a Vauxhall league footballer when it comes to getting big acts to Cork.

Well said

Did Bonamassa play Rory’s Strat during the gig?

Bit harsh on the audience no? If they were only one-concert-a-year crowd they surely wouldn’t have wasted it on a tribute-act.
Seems you’re just lashing out after a dreadful gig - they happen

No, they're an easily identifiable demographic. The type of people who buy CDs in Tesco and refer to Springsteen as "Bruce".

No interest in actual music, only there in the hope of having their picture taken by CorkBeo or the Examiner.

They were at a loss this year with no Westlife or Ed Sheeran to go to, so went down to Joe Bonamassa instead. But they wouldn't know Joe Bonamassa from Joe Duffy

I'll be honest and say I wouldn't know Joe Bonamassa either, but I'd be f**ked if I'd fork out €80+ on some Rory Gallagher tribute act!

Not sure what the snobbery about where one buys their CDs is either tbh - my CD player (I still have one) doesn't discriminate.

Been to concerts where I'm more into the performer than those around me are, and been to ones where I'm less so. You gotta take the rough with the smooth at a live gig and it seems to me that Joe Bonamassa was crap, not really the fault of the audience.

One of mine is over at Rock Werchter.
I've never even heard of most of the bands he's gone there to see.

I'd a mate down from Navan yesterday and we met for a few pints after the gig.

Started in the Gables and before we knew it we needed a late bar.

My first time in Barbarossa, I was very impressed. It's like a respectable late bar for people in their 30s and 40s. Lovely pint of stout too which we had outside with a few cigars. I was able to point out Corks latest pub across the road, which sadly was closed.

After a while we went to the Oak as I wanted my friend to experience it. It was actually class, mad old crowd in but it was quiet enough that we could sit at the bar, and the staff were sound out.

That was my first night out in town in a long time, and I loved it.

Pity the Fountain was closed though.

I don't drink in town, I only drink in and around Douglas Street, and the South County.

I have the very occasional afternoon pint at the weekend if I'm in town, but you won't catch me in a pub there generally
