Past setlists: http://www.radiofc.com/search/label/bcn
It's not that we're anti chart music but it just seems there's not that much good stuff in the charts these days and besides you can go anywhere to hear the same chart sounds...
Just to clear up any confusion - this is not a new night club - it's more of a club warm-up place to hear songs you really want to hear but never thought you would...

Hi Maeve,
You have to start somewhere. The nightclubs in town have a responsibility to deliver music that caters for its patrons. I go to Karma sometimes but I have to admit it's not the music I go there to hear. In fairness to them though the floor is usually fairly busy so it looks like the people who go are enjoying themselves.
Why not come along to Harvey's and say hello on Feb 28th. I'm sure we'd be interested in hearing some of your ideas.
Cheers,
Shane
Any reason why harveys bar is the only venue you seem to frequent? If you want to spread eclecticity to the masses why not attend and play at mainstream niteclubs, to my knowledge there are two in athlone.
Just wishing you every success in your venture. Ill spread the word at my end!
Take care,
Eoin
no problem Dec. we'll follow that up with The Bee Gees - Stayin Alive and you can pull off some of those jazzy moves that set the floor alight at the Christmas party... (which I didn't attend unfortunately but the pics were enough!)
Play "Chris Rea - Road to Hell"
big-up to me homies in the midlands massive !!!
Good work lads, might give me incentive to rock up to tha 'thlone sometime soon
Next time indeed! Stop in this Sunday and we'll make good on the offer. Thanks for the comment!
I hear P-Meeny is going to beat box for the entire set
Can't wait to See P-Meeny Battle Rap, he is supposed to be off the hook yo
3 whole fans, wow !
