ok so following on from squinty’s excellent review of the best gigs of 2008 and deportivo’s similarly inspiring review, I bring you my own 10 cents.
It was a strange but excellent year all at once.
The early part of the year was certainly quiet as has been the norm for many years now. We also saw [...]
Right gigsoc’s heads are still very sore after the very very good Kings of Lron gig last night in the o2 (more on that later). Recovery time is minimal as we are off to the annual Crete boom Xmas party tonight in town.
These location for these legendary parties is a closely guarded secret with [...]
Good news gig goers, 2009 is already shaping up to be a good ‘un on the gig front at least (if we not all made redundant we might even be able to afford a gig or two). Anthony will be playing Vicar St. on 31st May.
Tickets on sale now. Go get some.

1. Tom Waits in the Phoenix Park
“What could it be?” said Tom at one point. “Any one of a number of songs.” And it was. There followed Misery Is The River Of The World, just one of innumerable highlights of an unforgettable, dream-fulfilling [...]
Ok so this is my first post here on gigsoc.com and I can’t think of a better way to get started than with my top ten gigs from 2008, I have tried to be brief in my few words about each of them, I could have easily written for hours on all of them but [...]
Right it’s that time of year when all sorts of Top 10 lists start appearing and everyone looks back on the year that was.
Not to be outdone, gigsoc are compiling a list of their top 10 gigs of the year. It must be said it was a great year for live music in Ireland. With [...]
