Quote from: OpenSores on January 13, 2024, 08:56:29 PMReally enjoying the Harp album, it was after reading a recent review and similarities with The Cure 'Faith' that drew me in.

Listened to the first couple of tracks there, it's nice sounding alright.

Good memories of these veterans in Eamon Dorans back in the day, Love the keyboard and orchestral flourishes on this effort.


 

Was that the gig they did with Waylander but the bass amp blew after a couple of songs?

Looks like the memories aren't THAT good , don't remember the blown bass amp. Remember being wedged in like sardines and just catching glimpses of Gunther's blonde head occasionally! Great atmosphere though.

Did they play at DOD one year?

They did. Dismember year I think.

I thought they were shite, but I have listened to some of the early albums recently and they don't sound all that bad.

I don't remember it being packed but I did enjoy myself.  The two things I remember clearly from that night is the bass issue and the guy who kept shouting Victory or Valhalla on the bus journey home.

I think everyone must have shouted that at some stage that night  in fairness! It wasn't the Ardee, Blaney, Monaghan bus was it?

Yup!   Victory or Valhalla!!  At least I think that is the way it went, it was the Waylander express.

I could have been on that, I remember a Waylander bus load picking a few of us up in Monaghan en route to Dublin , it may well have been Ancient Rites. Fucksake my memory is shot to pieces

The other buses I half remember were Bolt Thrower, Wasp, Maiden at the RDS... My memory is gone as well but I have PTSD from the fella shouting Victory or Valhalla every time I just nodded off to sleep  :)  :)
