Dan Deacon in Whelans was definitely the most fun. The Saw Doctors at Glastonbury comes a close second.

This year is starting a lot better with British Sea Power in a few weeks, DJ Scotch Egg in February and best of all Mozaik at the end of the month in The Olympia. Also fingers crossed for an Andy Irvine & Paul Brady warm up gig ahead of their performance in Glasgow on the 30th.
