The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Great news. best of Luck to the Lobby in the future.

great news
lobby sold for 1.4 million. no news yet on whether new owner will keep it as a music venue
Is that a good or bad price for it ?? It is in a good location and has a good few bars around it that attract a crowd aswell.
There is one thing that all those bars should do, set up a beer garden on the Quay .... there is more than enough room and would be great atmosphere in the summer. Or maybe the dictatorship that City Hall have on the city would prevent anyone even remotely thinking outside the box

slightly more than they were asking so it's a good price i guess. Apparently another one of the pubs there is for sale too.
Tapas bar flopped thankfully.
Actually, I thought there would have been enough flashy types in and out of City Hall to keep it busy but no.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
what are the chances of opening it as a music venue again?
Well, there's no problems with the seisuins downstairs anyway but I wouldn't know what the HSA stance on upstairs is.

Was staying across the river in Jurys last summer and was saddened to see the lobby was being run as what appeared to be a cocktail bar/cafeteria. Didn't venture over.
Would love to see it revert to a music venue. Got to play there a couple of times and saw some savage gigs in there ...Andy White, Edwin Collins ...perfect for that kind of gig.
Any word on the new place next door 'The Whiskey' (over Donkey's I believe)? Playing there in April but have heard very little about it.

The Whiskey used to be the Phoenix once upon a time, which is next door to what was once Donkey's. In its' day it was the best pub in Cork. It's the guy who has Fred Zeppelins that has it now, I think. I haven't been there since it reopened as The Whiskey but The Phoenix was a great place for gigs, from a punters point of view it was anyway. I don't know what it was like to play there.
I think it's closed again at the moment due to some problem with the licence, but is due to reopen again shortly as far as I know.

thanks. I meant the Phoenix.

Under what guise are you playing there, Lionel? Is this a HMHB outing? Let us know dates will you?
Ceci n'est pas une signature
Yep. Fri 25th April. following night we're in Limerick. Interest from a few other places but still nothing solid.

Sounds like a good night. City at home to Drogs, and in to The Whiskey afterwards for a HMHB singalong. Any idea what time you'd be on stage at?

Excellent. Noted in diary.

Assuming the worst in terms of curfew (i.e. last band offstage at 11.30) we'd be on at 10pm. You'd be in plenty of time.
