The Hearing Aid: The Lemonheads @ The Irish Centre, Digbeth, Tuesday 15th September 2009 – A great review of both a band and a venue that’s seen bigger and better days making a bit of a comeback:
Lordy…I’ve not been to a gig at The Irish Centre for ages. It seems that they (whoever they are) are doing the old place up and, although it’s still a work in progress, it reminded me of just what a cracking venue it can be – a decent sized stage, a good view from wherever you stand and a bar (and staff) that delivers a lush, creamy pint of Guinness in your sticky mits in double quick time.
I hope the newly refurbished Irish Centre does better in its new guise as The Connaught Bar, the management are putting a real effort into injecting new life into it and history tells us it can be a great live music venue worthy of acts other than Little Jimmy and his ilk.
