The Shanks Last Gig

The Shanks Last Gig in Leap Dec 99

There was a sort of reunion at Mick Hayes's wedding. Three of the Shanks got on the stage and tried to play some of their old songs. It was very rough and some of the people watching would have remembered the lyrics better than the band. Afterwards I realised it had been nearly twelve years since the last gig. It was in Connollys of Leap, December 1999.

I found this team photo from the night. That night was a reunion of sorts too with Baz and Tim rejoining for the gig. It's great to see the heads again and bitter sweet to see Paddy McNicol (bottom right) who passed away in 2010.

I'm well ashamed of myself

Galway Gig Cancelled

Due to "end of the world" type storm we decided it would be safer if we didn't go to Galway tonight...  Here is some pics I took of floods around where we're living.. sorry bout the quality - really shitty phone.
