McGillicuddys OK, the st Paddy's Day show is going ahead, but with a venue change. We will be playing with the Town Pants (from the beer commercial) at the Upstairs Lounge (Harpo's in bastion square for all you old farts) on Monday March 17th for the St Paddy's day gig. All the contests are on and all the prizes are up for grabs. This is still gonna be the same party you expect but just moved to a new venue so we hope to see you there. Cheers,

Anonymous this is going to be a weird show..i mean crowd wise. hmm i know the two bands playing, and while fans of each band love to drink and get roudy...seems an odd pairing. - Sat, 15 Mar 2003 12:04pm

Celtic Punker To the person who said McGs and TownPants are a weird mix. Here' s a quote directly from the TownPants website:

"Punk rock and celtic music aren't really that much different. Good rowdy celtic music, when its played right, had the same honesty and passion that punk music did for me so I never saw them as that much different

Said by Aaron, who incidentally was key in the forming of the Real Mckenzies. So there - Sat, 15 Mar 2003 5:49pm
