The original entrance looks so lovely. It had been quite a loss,
if they had not restored it ... so kudos to the owners for their committment ... :D ...

No problem. I think the owners were probably legally obliged to restore it as the building is listed, as far as I know. But yeah, it's nice to have the original restored. It's a great building.

Some of you may be interested in knowing that you can get Duvel in a few pubs round this part of the world too.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

It's hard to imagine what a step down from the Well would be... :lol:

The Olympia is one of the nicest venues I've ever been in, so this has the potential to be a dream gig. It's bang smack in the centre of Dublin, which is a small city anyway. There are tonnes of nice pubs nearby, lots of restaurants and loads of places to stay if you're visiting - it's on the same street as Trinity College and is about a five minute walk from Grafton Street and St Stephen's Green. Well happy about this, and I'd guess it's going to be a big gig - I know a lot of people who are going who would never consider travelling to see The Sisters.
Do I drive or am I driven?

I'm jealous of all you people travelling to Dublin for The Sisters.

What's the name of the condition when they play in your hometown and your reaction is: "Grand! But I wish it was in Belgium or Hungary or somewhere..."?

I hear you but think about it... the money you save not travelling can be used to travel somewhere else to see them!

(incidentally, I tried this logic on my wife in an attempt to blag a trip to Switzerland and she just went "Leeds" . Oh, was that this year? :innocent: Seems ages ago now...
