Anybody here likes Irish music? They are coming to the German part and im very interested to go. Im not really in the mood to travel 2 hours minimum (possibly an overnight as well) on my own.

Anyone interested to go? I dont mind which city really since im coming from Geneva

Here are the tour days. They are coming in February. Tickets are between 50 and 70 francs. I will probably go for the 70

February:
1st: Bern - Theater National(CH)
2nd: Basel - Stadtcasino(CH)
3rd: Zürich - Neues Theater Spirgarten(CH)
4th: St Gallen - Tonhalle(CH)

I would be interested in the Zürich concert! Thanks for posting.

I'm a big fan. I might also come.

Thanks for posting!

But cripes, I scheduled a week long snowboarding trip during this time. Bummer. I hope to catch them another time.

My name is a dead giveaway Already planned on attending the concert in Zurich but have not yet bought the tickets. We could schedule an event if more people would be interested?

Gata let me know if you need a place to spend the night afterwards. I have a huge sofa as well as a guest bed.

Thanks It sounds very tempting but im assuming you are a guy and my OH wont be very happy!

Anyway the concert is in a hotel anyway so worst case i will get a room there. Maybe be better to actually book it in advance. Its almost 3 hours to Geneva and im not risking to miss the last train. Bern its much closer but its a question of where most people want to go. Things like that are not much fun on your own.

Maybe one Zurich person can actually make an event of it closer to the date with maybe a coffee or dinner before/after?

I'm on for the Zurich concert, I'll be back in touch once I have booked my ticket, thanks for the heads up on the event.

I saw them in Basel last year, they are getting on a bit to say the least.
A good gig, and they are great characters, but spoiled by the audience clapping along en masse to 95% of the songs.

I have been a fan for many years and I visit there concerts every year wherever I am (all over Europe). I booked a few months ago for the Zurich event.

I'm actually going to the Basel show.

Might well be tempted by the Zurich night, You'd be very welcome to stay at mine Gata, OH shouldn't have any worries on that score

I am actually female :-) I will post an event later on. Let me know what you decide about the hotel.

hi Folks,

just moved to Basel from Ireland, first time post, glad to see the lads coming to town. Any idea where to buy tickets for the gig?
cheers.

This is where to get the tickets online. Otherwise at the Basel Ticketcorner office. I' going too.

thanks Biff. I'm getting no joy there, would it be sold out you reckon?

It could be sold out by now - from memory it was full house last time they were here. BUt, it could be that the site is down at the moment - I have just checked and it's not saying "fullhouse" so perhaps try again later. You could try one of the other sites that have tickets - but the one I have checked, has the tickets at higher prices. Or go into the ticket office on Monday and try there. If all else fails, turn up on the night and you could get lucky at the door. :-)

The site is working now. :-)

Ahhhh, my first date with my (now) husband was a Dubliners gig in London somewhere - they were joined half way through by Shane McGowan.

Not here for the Basel date this year, what a shame, would make me feel all young and romantic!

Thanks girls OH wont have a problem with that. If he doesnt come with me it will be something to think about

great Biff,
we're sucking diesel now, cheers!
