Ham Sandwich in Dolans - December 2012

So i was in back in Dolans for another taste of the brilliant Ham Sandwich.

They had the nice addition of 2 trumpets this time, to go along with confettis and ballons antics, and they were amazing as usual.

The crowd was enthusiastic, or as Podge McNamee put it " a bizarrely amazing crowd"

After missing them at the SeaSession and apparently 3 times at the Electric Picnic ( all this year ), I manage to see the band Ham Sandwich live... in the Dolans warehouse.
Brilliant and full of energy, your man was on drunken fire to the delight of the crowd....

The sun and an almost clear blue sky even invited himslef for the party before the darkness.


There was also a presentation of an interesting compilation:

Concert - The Answer in Dolans

Brilliant concert last night in Dolans, featuring the Northern Ireland band: The Answer.



The two support band were let's say entertaining, the first one though not bad, reminded me of spinal stap through their outfit ( head bandana, cut jean, leather trouser, goth style singer.... ), the second paid a lot less attention to its outfit, but as soon as the guitar started, they meant business, the energic singer performed the perfect warm-up to the leading act.

The first I saw The Answer , was at The Who concert in Cork, about 2-3 years ago, at the time I was really impressed by their style and their energy.

:D :D :D
