Just back from Cork - another humdinger - review will follow later. A couple of new (in any case to me) songs - Thrill Me and Enough.

4 hours 12 minutes to go... lovely bright, sunny day too. It's one thing to jump around surrounded by like minded people at night in a dark venue; quite another to do the same in the middle of a bright afternoon in a small park in the centre of a big city, under the hard glare of those who have not had the opportunity to develope a proper understanding of good music and think life ends at 30. Our hour is at hand (well 35 minutes anyway)!

Cmon more news on Cork and London. Keep the long reviews for the website but give us a few crumbs of info you lucky people. Hope the weather was as good in london as it was here. Mind you, its always sunny when the Undertones are playing.

A 25 second phonecall from George at 6.30 seemed to indicate things were going better than expected!

Well. What can I say. The band were rocking. Even the dog (really!) was wagging its tail (until I stood on it. Met up with George, Henry (& partner), Pete and a few others. Spoke to the band afterwards who told us there was a private (secret) gig in Covent Garden. Got tickets so offthere now. 2 for the price of one. Glad I came by car now. I can leave when I like. Gig was short. But played 2 new songs. Thrill me and enough (not the right title). This was a real rocking song. Loved it. George got stabbed! Don't worry it was only from the studs on the leather jacket from a punk rocker who was pogoing too close. Off to next gig now.

Forgot to say. Gig was truly good. 9 songs. Started with ygmnwdyui.Jimmy Jimmy, Here comes the summer (WEATHER WAS REALLY GOOD), Thrill me, Wednesday Week, Enough, Teenage kicks. Enough said. see you. Lost Cliff though.Where are you?

Secret gig? for who? I am mising something

CIS my fuckin ronson :)

Superb day at the St Patricks Day festival. Derek has said most of the key bits. The Undertones were introduced by Jimmy Jimmy himself - aka James Nesbitt. A great 30 minutes. Thrill Me sounds as good as the very first LP to me - a hit single I think. Good to see a huge crowd witness the band. Jen (my wife) was official photographer for the day - 80 great snaps. Aren't digital cameras brilliant. I'll email a few to the official site. George - I have a special one for you of your spiky haired friend !

Hard lines today AlexD. JON: Was anyone filming the gig today? Please email me.

2 gigs in 1 day. 'Secret' gig was great stuff; no stage, the band were just on the ground in the corner of the bar. Lost for words really. (I seem to have lost much of my hearing too for some reason.) Even the toilets were up to the job! Top day.

Cheers Micky, good man! Presents money can't buy.

Just got home, what a superb day.The 'secret' gig(I didnt hear about it until last night)was the absolute bollocks.About 150 people and The Undertones stuck in the corner on the same level as us.Two new songs 'Thrill me' and 'She wants everything but you'.At the festival I thought 'thrill me' was the stronger of the two although the chorus of 'she wants everything' was very catchy.That chorus sounded great at the later gig and is still in my head now...it's beautiful!!I fell on my ass and have just noticed the back of my shirt covered in crap.A really great day(football apart that is).

Hi Jon - can't you e-mail the photos to this site as well?
