With the first Gentlemen of The Road Stopover now gloriously been and gone last Saturday in Huddersfield, we now cannot wait more than ever for this Saturday’s festivities in Galway. Salthill Park is being prepped and readied to be on fine form for the main event but it is with great excitement that we can now announce the aftershow parties.
These are as important, well to us at least, as what’s happening in Salthill Park. We hosted a House Party in Huddersfield which was a lot of fun, and when we were in Galway we spent the day looking at a few different venues. Monroes on Dominick Street jumped out at us as the perfect location to have that party. There’ll be some trad picking downstairs, live sets from the fantastic Little Green Cars and The Danger Is upstairs.
Round the corner at The Kings Head in the Ruby Room upstairs there’ll be comedy - for those who have had their fair share of music throughout the day, and would like something a bit differen. Prepare to have your sides split open, or fall off your proverbial chair as the fantastically sharp Alfie Brown dissects popular culture, and the award winning Piff The Magic Dragon masterfully combines comedy and magic.
But it doesn’t stop there!!!!
Oh no, we like choice and we like to offer up choice.
So at Kelly’s hosted by the lovely Olive, there’ll be a night of dancing and swing. Nick Etwell, who you may recognise from playing Trumpet with Mumford & Sons over the past couple of years, has brought over his exceptional band The Filthy Six from London to play their boogaloo/funk/soul/musicyoucannotstandstillto concoction. They are SO good. And there’ll be DJing along the lines of that ilk to carry through the night. In Huddersfield, Marcus and Ben jumped up and played a couple of tunes with them, which may well happen again…
And then there’s the loud, dirty, indie party which will be going down at Roisin Dubh. Again, multiple rooms and a mainstay of the indie musical heritage of Galway. Some of the characters/bands who you saw at Salthill Park earlier in the day will be doing DJ battles until the early hours of the morning.
All of the above are a short walk from each other. And we highly recommend getting involved and enjoying the evening and the vibe of Galway. We’re going to be jumping between each venue and catching as much of the entertainment as we can, all tickets are available ONLINE (see below for links) and will be sold on the DOOR and ON SITE throughout the day on Saturday.
See you all there!
