No problem with refunds at the point of purchase or at the door on production of your WGT confirmation number. As I'M IN CHARGE of the label I've promoted our set to the HEADLINERS... 10 acts £8... looking forward to seeing you all at St. Columb's its going to be an awesome night. Thanks to all the bands for helping to make this happen!

THE DANGERFIELDS 5:30 – 6:00
The Dangerfields play two types of music: rock AND roll. DIY heroes and touring junkies The Dangerfields' brand of no-bullshit, Ramones-pop is as infectious as it is legendary. This is their first live performance after extended hiatus.

STEREO WAR FAVOURITES 7:45 – 8:15

SPECTATOR 8:30– 9:00
Fugazi-inspired, progressive math-rock trio - and possessors of the most insanely complex drummer in NI; Spectator are a Derry three-piece that have just completed work on their debut album.

BLACK BEAR SALOON – 9:15 – 9:45
Leading the NI Hardcore revivial ex-members of Throat and Element combine to produce accessible Bronx-esque muscle-core. Straight up, 4/4 and no fucking about with riffs to burn. Bring it!

PANAMA KINGS 10:00 – 10:30
Fresh from the UK festival circuit and darlings of the mainstream radiowaves, The Panama Kings are Les Savy Fav if they decided to be pop stars for a year. Taut, wriggly, slinky and sexy - with riffs as tight as their jeans.

LAFARO 10:45 – 11:30
Officially, the most exciting band in Ireland right now. Jesus Lizard, Pixies-infused Garage-Core. LaFaro have just completed their debut album - set for release on STA in 2010, we've heard it and it slays - come and see them live.

ANDREW FERRIS (FULL BAND SET) 12:00 – 01:00
Andrew is joined onstage by his good friends Fighting With Wire for a set covering eight years of Jetplane Landing tunes and favorite cover versions - worth the ticket price alone to watch Cahir attempt the guitar solo from 'Know Your Enemy' and fuck it up - again...
