Sunday Times Soundsystem

Two years ago after just moving back from Galway, I went for a few beers in John Hennessey’s abode to discuss some important business. Of this I remember little as I woke the next morning in a non-too responsive state with an extremely vague recollection of what had gone on past the umpteenth beer. Luckily for all, that big nerd John had written down all we had been harpin’ on about and so we were able to consult this golden transcript and put out idea into motion…er have a party and make it better than most. Well it’s a bit more than that but you get it. And thus Sunday Times was born and we have been doing it ever since, mostly resulting in that elusive state where the ability to recall the previous nights events is the end result. We have a great party in between though. No doubt.

We’ve played records that are classics, records that are now our classics (well we think so anyways) and we’ve had some eh…classic nights I suppose, last Easter weekend’s shenanigans being a pretty crazy example of what goes on when it goes right. We’ve had some of our friends being in their records to play for you and we’ve hauled our records up that b*starding hill to the Realt Dearg twenty odd times. We’ve gone on the road to Galway and Dublin and recently screened a movie with our pals down at Plugd (hey goys), but all this comes back to our end of the month Sunday get down. Join us on Sunday the 26th for our second birthday (seriously?) and another party to remember. Last year we had food provided by the lads down at the Cruibin and enough balloons for a lifesize version of UP. This year the food decision will be weather dependent as we utilise the new garden at the back of the Realt. We’ll keep ya’ll posted on what’s going on there. We may even bring the party outside until the sun goes in depending on what the day throws at us.

Enough guff.
