Mostly going for Blood Ceremony but Uncle Acid is a nice bonus hoping it doesn't kick off too early (Dublin) looking like I won't make it till 7:45.

Good set from both bands in Belfast last night. The place seemed overcrowded though. I don't think I've ever seen it so packed. It's a bit shit that Blood Ceremony started playing at the same time the doors opened. Missed half the set from being stuck in the queue to get in, and it looked like people were still queing by the time Blood Ceremony had finished. A few of the Limelight bouncers being twats as usual too.

I enjoyed  last nights show in Dublin despite not being too familiar with either band or whatever you call this type of thing(doom-pop?). That flute is a definite deal breaker though. Good crowd especially for a Sunday. No merch thanks to MCD and their  extortionate policies.

Apparently, MCD were looking for 25% (plus vat) of sales from the merch. The band were selling merch out of the back of a van after the gig.

A bit disappointed at such a short set from Blood Ceremony as they were the reason I was attending, would have gladly taken 20 minutes off the Uncle Acid set and gave it to Blood Ceremony, but sure look. Also missing out on the merch... Didn't know that they'd be selling it after the show, seen it on their instagram as I was on the bus home, bit pissed off...

Aside from that, fantastic performances from both bands. Sound was deadly too.

Yeah 38 mins was all Blood Ceremony got a pity would love a headline show. Uncle Acid were good also grand auld night. The bossman Lee Dorian was hanging around the venue too spoke to him and Alia briefly afterwards.
