99 Reasons to Visit Limerick
Image by Ryan Nickel
Last week, while riffling through the Internet, as I normally do, I came across and article by Totally Dublin titled, 200 Reasons Not to Leave Dublin. I began to read it with mild interest but slowly and surely it began to irk me; I only got as far as number 30 before I was actually annoyed.
The article named various things and places about Dublin that it wanted to promote but seemed to fail to realize that the only things truly unique to Dublin, that it had listed, were physical landmarks.
Things like Guinness, Chippers, Viking Settlements, Deli Counters, Rugby are examples of reasons to stay in Ireland, not just Dublin, and I’m sorry but The Rubberbandits and Vincent Browne are from Limerick!
A mate of mine attempted to talk me down, she said informed me that the article was simply an update from an earlier 1980’s article on immigration but it got me thinking. Many Dublin natives generally disregard the rest of the country, seeing as they are natives of the capital, they have most of everything at their fingertips.
They fail to realize that Ireland, in all her glory is a remarkable place. I, a Limerick man, know my city well and am proud to be associated with her, I decided to write up my own piece on my city in hopes that people, the world over, would see that Ireland is not just Dublin, but a vast nation filled with many wonderful places, features, landmarks and people.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Dublin and have lived there in the past and chances are if I decide to settle in Ireland, Dublin will be my future permanent home and this isn’t a depressing idea at all but I implore the rest of the country to travel within its boundaries. Ireland is a vibrant place and places like Limerick have so much to offer, so here I’ve decided to list my 99 Reasons to Visit Limerick. Enjoy.

Macronite presents Sunil Sharpe, Sat 7th of April, Dolans Limerick
It’s the Saturday night of the Easter weekend and with dreams of chocolate eggs and Techno in my head, I get into Dolans warehouse where Dan Sykes opens proceedings with a statement of intent. The Techno is sharp, precise and presses along molto vivance. The set has that little extra oomph this time around compared to some of the previous sets I’ve heard from this chap, most likely due to the fact that tonight will be Sykes’ final set for the time being as a resident. Going out with a bang appears to be the order of the night; proper order it is too.

Tooth Album Review
Artist - Tooth
Album - That Corporate Emotion LP
Out on a limb records
It’s been many years since I’ve heard Tooth bursting out of my stereo from a cassette copy I had (and unfortunately since lost) of a few tracks from their back catalogue.
So it’s with over caffeinated puppy like excitement I slip this 10 year anniversary edition of Tooth’s ‘That Corporate emotion’ LP from it’s sleeve.

We Come In Pieces are a local Limerick based band that are without a doubt one of the hardest working bands around. They are greatly under appreciated which is a crying shame because they’re one of the loudest, entertaining bands around. Here is they’re newest video. It’s going to be on their new album out next year. If you’ve missed them, then don’t worry you can check them out on the 26th of December in Dolans, along with The Hip Neck Blues Collective and Fox Jaw Bounty Hunters. Hope to see ya there.
