Volvo Ocean Race Galway
- Thread starter Birroc
- Start date
don't forget Macnas.....saw them banging their drums on the quays as the boats came in, on the news earlier. They're there for the opening of an envelope those boys!!!
The army deafness claims won't hold a candle to what they'll get when they all start to hit 50 or so!!!

That's all the reason I need to stay away!
Do they play any other type of concert
? Once you get past the nostalgia of "I useta love her", eh, that's all there is !Who else is on the line-up ? The Waterboys ? The Hothouse Flowers ? The Thrills ?

Lovely evening tonight - fireworks at 10:45pm
Cap'n Birroc and his bottle of rum ready to rock!
Seriously though, it's a great setup and well organised. I have rarely seen a better buzz around town.
Not sure when they'll be back again but from all accounts Volvo love Galway.
I'm sure I'll get slated for saying this but some of you guys are hard to please. So the saw doctors are playing? So what, they're free? They're generally a good crowd-riser and good fun? Maybe they're not Pink Floyd but in the spirit of fun and enthusiasm, they're fine.
The whole occasion came across great on the TV - the enthusiasm of the crowd seemed to be matched by the participants in the race.
True, they're not Pink Floyd, and that's to their credit
!If there were a levy on their use of the word 'mighty', then we could replay the bailout
.Big boats, horse races, arts festivals, none of it is relevant. All it is is an Event, and God knows the Irish love The Event.
Were the crowd at the Saw Doctors singing Fields of Athenry, by any chance ? Did VOLVO see fit to award a 'best ocean racing supporters' bauble ?
It's been a great week in Galway. The weather has been good at the right times and whoever slates the Saw Doctors (and another band before them called The Amazing Apples) should have seen the 70,000 people who turned out to see them and went home delighted.
There's no talk of recession in Galway this week and it makes a very pleasant change I think the rest of the country is just jealous !!!
Volvo are seriously thinking of doing another stop here in the next Ocean Race....what better compliment could a city get?
