The gig last night was brilliant. Did anyone go to it. Paul Noonan positively oozed energy on stage. The new album comes across much better live. Anyways the setlist and some dodgy pictures are available here

Did anyone else go?
Wasn't at this but they're playing in Sligo at the end of this month
Go! Full stop. They are great live. Avoid the hoards of girls oozing want for the band though, unless you look like Paul Noonan :)
Haven't heard much of them tbh, gonna download some of their songs now, any suggestions?:confused:Quote:

Bell X1 are Brian Crosby, Dave Geraghty, Paul Noonan and Dominic Phillips.
all home bred!
Damien Rice was a member before going solo, they were known as Juniper back then.
They have 3 albums out as bell x1.
The first is "neither am i" which was released in 1999/2000.
It has the bands version of Volcano which was then released again by Rice.
My favourite track is "Pinball machine".
In 2003 the band released "Music in Mouth" which had numerous hit songs, "i'll rasie your heart and see you mine" featured on The O.C.
The latest release is "Flock". the first single to be released off the album is "bigger than me".
They are touring around ireland before heading over to U.K.
And they are definitly worth catching live!!
Their website is www.bellx1.com
Get Pinball Machine, Snakes and Snakes and erm..Alphabet Soup and from the new album Flame and Rocky.
saw them on grafton street in dublin yesterday signin autographs . who else is on the night they are in the radisson?
I suggest you go. Radisson in Galway? What date and how much are tickets. If its a good date I'll go.
no radisson in sligo
what date etc
Lads, ok need some help, myself and my girlfriend are thinking about going down to the gig and probably staying from Saturday to Monday morning. Can you point me in the direction of a nice hotel to stay in? And are there tickets still available?
how about staying in the Radisson itself!
tickets are still available AFAIK
Whats the Radisson like. Is it nice?
its pretty good supposed to be expensive though
All the hotels (Clarion, Southern, Riverside, Sligo Park, Radisson) are all booked out for Saturday but have a room on Sunday. Which would you recommend. Is the Rad far from the town? Price is not a factor here for one night!
its about two - three minutes in a car ,
Ok well nothing like impulse booking. I have my tickets to the gig and I have my hotel room in said hotel booked and I will be arriving on Sunday morning for a day of beer and music. I hope that Cobh are beaten the night before too so Sligo people will be happy. :) hehe
Turn. I recommend them highly. They're fantastic live.Quote:

I didn't, I had something else on that night, was well pi$$ed off when I realised. I heard the sound was $hit alright.Quote:

Close Your Eyes, Little Bird and the first two tracks are great. some of it is pretty weak though, No One's Gonna Change Your Life for example. I've no doubt it'll grow on me more though as I didn't like it at all on the first listen.Quote:

How does the new stuff come out live? I'd imagine It's About Nothing works well but what about the rest?
