The Irish dancing thread (v2.0)

We were in Temple bar lots... and that was grand, for a while...

But then meetings there started to get a bit careless and random and the Temple Bar authorities asked for it to be stopped...

Ask Helen of Poi... she had to deal with them when getting permission for last year's DJC fire show.

hello all, Splinter here, met a good few of ya at the DJC, god id love a spin over hte weekend durbs if your around...any busking on friday night?? i texted unicycle brian and he said he aint sure but im sure would a crowdd we could get one going...

Splinty

New Irish thread,
so is this the Irish shite talk thread or is that the other one?

To the Rob and Durbs, enjoy your Dublin adventure, and get yer arses down south for some chill out in the countryside sometime

Hope everyone's well, looking forward to some nice spinny gatherings now the weather is getting warmer



Ronan

Now Mr Pot-amus... didn't we decide at the weekend that, just like the Play thread, there is no chance of seperating nonsense from organisation (I realise this often, funnily enough)... so just one new thread will do

And I shall bring small cakes to the gig today.
Who's in town for a spin saturday night?

Props to TheDee, nothing better than knowing more about constitutional law than the Garda trying to move you on!
Still get beaten up but you KNOW you're right!
And get to feel righteously angry about it!
RAHR!!!!

*yawn* morning everyone, anyone for an early morning cuppa?

*mmm...please, normalitea with two sugars, i like it sweet, its a compensatory thing*

hi guys,
I've just been on to mcp and co. about this big meet down the country and there's a votary system being put in place over when it should be... first or second week in june

So let me know what suits you all before next week (if you have no preference, or don't care in the slghtest about it one way or the other (the same thing really) then "reserve thy censure" as they say...

Any help from you guys with friendly musician types, spinny/juggly/nice people, and or D.Js who are only waiting for the opportunity to meet up with a bunch of heads in a field by the woods on the edge of an organic farm for the weekend and celebrate the facets of the great dance in which they find their feet then let them know, let me know, let the world know...and we'll sort something out
*all are welcome*


Clare , could you check your mail, thanks
Barry, that MP3 player is mine, methinks i heard rumour it was lurking in your flat...
Ronan, i'm working next weekend, come up earlier, or later
Track of the day:
I reccomend "Telefon Tel Aviv: 8 track project cut" from the "Immediate Action EP" enjoy

Hey Eimhin
First two weeks of June(1st+2nd, 8th+9th) I'm working, but I should still be able to make it up for saturday night and sunday... last weekend (25th-27th) of May is no good?

As for galway visits what about Sunday, Monday and maybe Tuesday of next weekend? (1st-3rd April)

Keep checking those cupboards!

See you soon

Just to point out, Brian (DJC organiser) and Oisin are trying to raise money (€650 per person) to go sky diving in aid of a charity for the blind.

Anyway meeting up in town tonight for a bit of a spin/drum/jugggle/hoop and what not for a bit of craic.Also town will be packed with all the peopels from the match so it should be a right larf.

Later skaters

O_O thats a lot of info all at once. thank you helen ^_^ I didn't even know there was a temple bar central trust! (learn somthing new everyday)

Are people heading into town tonight to this fire show thingie for charity? the last one was really good ^_^

You guys might be interested in the new Emerald Circus Website which has just been set up as a resource for Irish circusy juggley spinny types.

Hmm...of course...that would be foolish as i'm supposed to be going to that...so first week it is, thanks Helen

Well thats that...
Ronan, that sounds grand to me, I'll study double extra hard in the mean time and by the time you get here it'll be high time i sat back with a fatty and enjoyed some spinnin-ny goodness...you never know, we might go mad all together and end up in the dishwasher

Well I'm fatty free at the moment and once again I'm amazed at how high I get from not smoking....
Had a lovely practice session in front of the solar collecter/mirror.... 4 steves in a row! New world record I'd say. Beat that!

We have a few Catalan woofers down here at the moment, would it be ok if one of them came up with me perhaps?

So I should be up in Galway Saturday evening, and hopefully stick around til tuesday.

See ye then

Nice one Ronan

Hope it continues going well...

I'm just back from a hen weekend with my school friends in Newcastle, ai.

Learned to pole dance like a good'un, like (might be able to steal one move... without looking like a prostitute... maybe).

But I mainly spent my night laughing at the horror of stag/hen nightclubs...

The DJ played:
Country Road
Time Warp
YMCA
Dancin on the Ceiling
9-5

blah blah, etc etc.

Each song was accompanied by shrieks from my friends of 'this is my favourite song, ever!!'

Argh.

The air was thick with cheap perfume and aftershave; stale, spilt beer and testosterone.

Coupled with the fact that the group of girls I was with were all pretty (at least, when compared to other.... patrons... of this nightclub)... so our circle was surrounded all night by rather ugly, rather sleazy, hormone-driven men. You could almost slip in the drool.

Yeush.

So I left early

I was never into nightclubs... but it surprised me to realise how far I've removed myself from that scene.



Anyways... hope y'all had a good weekend.

And see you the first weekend in June

xx

PS: Eimhin... just saw my emails, been away all weekend...

yay Ronin!

He's no masterless samurai...well...um
looks like you have an admirer ()
bring them all sure, bring the family too, all welcome, see you early sunday morning i'd imagine,
sound,
oh and you're never fatty free, fatties or no fatties you still are and ever will be a fatty

And for anyone who isn't going to UberParis: check out life-festival.com its going to be fantastic, again...

I wish I'd been in Dublin this w/e durbs, another time mayhaps. I've been in County Clare for the weekend.

I'm living in Navan now, in case any lost souls are near by and want to play.

I'm also going to Galway tomorrow so may see some of you soon!
