Title: Templemore Metal Fest 2023
Post by: astfgyl on July 02, 2023, 01:25:24 PM
Almost obligatory for me to throw this up at this stage.

Headlined by Tool tribute The Grudge this year, which should be a bit of craic.

Not anticipating many to travel to this but there was a bus from Limerick last year iirc (do I @ochoill?). Hard town to get in and out of with not much accommodation either. Usually a good crowd at it all the same.

There's the poster, which I couldn't figure out how to display on here

You do not recall correctly lol, there happened to just be a load of Limerick heads who organised their own way there or were in bands going up and back with spare seats so they brought lads on the lash etc.

I'm surprised you recall anything.  For the forum here I have to explain that I introduced Astfgyl to someone I know but he was peaking on a rake of mushies and I got the vibe wrong so he basically asked the lad "what?" for 30 seconds then ran away from the situation so badly that he fell out the door of the smoking area and sprained his arm.  But continued to drink until closing time.  This was at about 3 in the afternoon.

Yeah I had a feeling I might've been wrong there. Ah well. Was in a sling for two weeks after that one. Going to stay on the dry for it this year
