The Gospel according to Mr.Spring.net...My god what a sad little country we have,read this!
lots of places were reeling from the shock of 2 bank-holidays in 21 days, and the total lack of interest most people showed!! I can confirm the country seemed to go into some sort of coma this weekend.. beaches were 1/2 empty, despite the heat/sun interfering with the rain (constant rain actually..) and the roads were pratically deserted, except for fine-hungry police that is, who have now taken to hiding behind road-hoardings and in bushes...
Speaking of coppers, it`s with a heavy heart i must announce the ACHILL ISLAND sessions tour is off.. the venue was approached by the Local Gardai and advised that running the event would go against them when their next licence application was lodged.. yes, you read right, the venue was bullied into dropping the gig.. so, what can we do? Not alot really, except publicly anonounce this kind of thing is going on!! One thing is for sure, Me, John Power, Conor G, the other DJs and performers on the weekend, the Promoter, RTE radio (the national service provider for the republic of ireland) , The Outside Broadcast Team, the Owner of the Hotel, the supplier of the Stage, the Sucurity Team, the PA hire Company, the Road-Crew, the Printers and designers of the flyers & posters, the Advertising team in RTE radio, the Management of the artists and the familys of all the above mentioned people wish to make it clear that they have NO connections with Drugdealing, organised crime, theft ar any conspiracy to commit any crime whatsoever in connection with the proposed event, and we all resent the implication that we would need to conspire in such a fashion. We also wish to make it clear that this is NOT bieng taken lightly, and we intend to persue the Gardai responsible with a view to making an official statement as to WHY holding such an event would reflect badly on the continuation of any of our careers.. We also wish to point out that we are deadly serious in our endevours, and we make our livings from this activity, and we will not be undermined by a lazy, fat, bunch of Cu**s who think the best way to prevent work is to stop it coming about. We are not afraid of you, because we are not bent. Light destroys darkness, and we are coming to get you. End of Story. You may laugh (or steam if you are a member!!), but this is really taking the piss, and i have to ask what is next? No GAA matches because paramilitarys or potential abusers of parking areas may be in the crowd? No Wedding receptions because people get drunk and may talk loudly in a manner likely to cause offence???? No Pubs anymore because people are more likely to commit violent crimes when their bird naggs them for bieng pissed "again"? No Television because it may show people Fuc*ing and may incite a person with no wedding-tackle to commit a hate-crime? No Mass because it may cause a public gathering likelty to cause offence to the Anti-christ/Taliban and result in a blight upon our community/plague of locusts/falling airliner? No roads because people may use them to get to and from a crime scene? No air because criminals may need to breathe it? Might as well just kill us all now eh? Well, this, i am sure, is down to laziness... the scourge of modern society.. sooner or later everyone realises they are but an insect on a rock in the ocean of time.. and they just "give up" trying.. why should anyone put any effort into anything anymore - life is so pointless - 70 years of pain, then you blip out of existance! Well, i`ll tell you why you should make the effort.. because if you don`t, people like me will take the piss out of you.. thats why!! [hint: now you know what keeps me going!!!] Ahhhhhhh... lovely lamers... mmmmm....
