It was a blast. Definitely a slightly more varied crowd as you'd expect, although plenty of us were there across both nights. Good few kids, as well, whom the bands were all great with.

Took until after the first break to properly get going but once it did, it didn't stop. Great stuff from Aeturnum Vale, The Crawling, Legion of Wolves and Dog Tired. Aesect might have been my favourite though. Them and Dog Tired in particular had the crowd patter down spot on. Little mini wall of death for Aesect.

Voices were grand. I have this weird thing where after a day of heavy shit in a small room anyway I don't particularly find something like them a huge step up. I wonder if you threw some local lads in that slot and saved a bit of money would anyone have been any the wiser.

No complaints though. Great day, great people, will be a real shame not to have this next year as the other fests can stay a little on the doomy side of the fence for myself sometimes.

One up all night anomaly alright lasted way too long for everyone's liking, creaming up the floor with his pints and hassling the bands a bit early on. Think the crowd eventually swallowed him up a bit.

Great crowd for it alright.
Atmosphere was bang on... no real hassle from anyone bar the one fella who was totally arsefaced. His buddies dragged him back to the hostel to sleep it off after a while, though.

Cork heads were out in force for the Friday, which was great to see. Although very few on the Saturday, I thought. The price for the weekend was a bargain, in my opinion. But what can you do, sure? I think we spoiled them too much on the Friday.

The rest of the country turned up on Saturday, though. And everyone had a blast.

Great stuff. I can rewatch some of the many highlights from that night. Wasn't able to make it out to Saturday, but have seen some vids being posted from then.

Great time at this on Saturday. Great job by everyone involved in putting this on.

Hopefully something similar can continue with a new promoter now that Danny is giving promoting gigs a break
