Post subject: Bionic Rats - Dublin |
 |
|
I've just returned from a weekend in the emerald isle and took the opportunity to catch up with a Dublin ska band - The Bionic Rats. Some of you will recall seeing them in the Foggy Dew in Dublin prior to The Specials gig last November.
A top band playing 2-tone, trojan and original ska. They play in The Turks Head every Thursday night (from 11pm) and The Foggy Dew every Sunday evening (from 5pm) - no cover charge. Well worth checking out if you are ever in Dublin.

Maybe we should get them over the water to play at 2Tone Central, now that would be a top gig. _________________ I`m just a Stereotype,I eat my age in pies ! |

I fully agree Nipper. The rats would go down a treat in Coventry and talking to them after the gig they are keen get across to the UK to show us what they can do. Perhaps Mr Chambers and co. would be interested in checking them out on the earlier links? What say you Peter?  |
