A few quality Strabane bands and webpages that are worth checking out:
Runningforcover - http://www.myspace.com/runningforcover
God Talking Soul - http://www.myspace.com/godtalkingsoulband
King Coma - http://www.myspace.com/kingcoma
The Avari - http://www.myspace.com/theavarimusic
Kharma 45 - http://www.myspace.com/kharma45
Then of course there is the Strabane venue where it's all been happening musically for the last ten years...Dicey Rileys and its upstairs venue The Waiting Room ...long may you run!
http://www.myspace.com/thewaitingroomvenue Look out for Musky D and Stic Vibes and their Alternative Disco on December 2 kicking off the mad festivities for the rest of the month.
Something that I am personally involved in is Strabane Unplugged. We've been running for two years now, taking place on the first Monday of the month at the All Stars Bar on Main Street. We basically do what it says on the tin! Each night about an average of 6 or so acts play a short acoustic set and a great night is had by all. It's £2 admission and all money goes to a charity highlighted each night.
On Monday December 4 we celebrate our 2nd anniversary and are planning an 'open mic' session. If anybody feels the need they can grace the stage and bellow out a diamond or a turd, it makes no difference - it's a night of fun.
Another blog really worth taking a look at is Daithi Ramsay's. You'll find Daithi pretty much where anything of note is happening in and around Letterkenny and beyond, except when he goes to Finn Park (only joking D! haha). With Donegal buzzing like never before, Daithi is there to document it all at http://andparts.blogspot.com
A Jack of all Trades, Daithi also DJ's on a Friday and Saturday night at Fubar downstairs in the Orchard in Letterkenny. It's the coolest room in Donegal at the weekend, with the best in funk, rock, soul, ska, hip-hop, old skool, new skool and loads more. If soul and spirit sapping weekend clubbing is not for you, find redemption at Fubar!
