2019-11-18 The Wood Burning Savages - Whelans Dublin

It always pays to get in early and catch the support acts at gigs.  It's how I first saw The Wood Burning Savages back in March this year, when they supported Therapy? in Dolans Limerick.  After the show, I bought a copy of their album Stability from the merch stand.  It's a fantastic album, well worth picking up.

Like Therapy, TWBS hail from Northern Ireland, Derry to be exact, and they are another in a long line of fantastic rock acts to come from the North. Bands such as The Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, That Petrol Emotion, the aforementioned Therapy? among many others.

Anyway, they were playing Whelans last weekend and I figured I'd pop up as I hadn't seen them enough this year.  They had the place hopping and by the end of the gig, everyone was a hot, sticky, sweaty mess!

These guys are good, very good.  Buy the album and go see them live!

Greatest goalkeeper never to play for Ireland at any level. A failed rock star. Now I take pretty pictures of Rock n' Roll, Burlesque and Political Activism.
