FELINE WEEK…Friday: our Day Trip to Dublin

Ahined in Dublin...Feline: 1, Slapdogs: nil

• The Feline Dream's return to the stage after a 5 year break was not uneventful!
• Friendly neighbourhood viking, Mr G. Shep, had procured them a slot on the bill at prestigious Dublin venue Eamonn Doran's (infamous for hosting ginger bastard Chris Evans' Channel 4 TFI Friday show on Saint Patrick's Day 2000, with hideous guest appearances from the plastic throats of The Corrs and James Nesbitt.)
• We headed down to Dublin in our spacious vawn, taking care to arrive a full hour ahead of our alloted soundcheck time...
  
• Unfortunately, we weren't counting on the ahinyenation of headling act The Sundogs, who insisting on spending so much time fixing their hairgrease, that Feline weren't even allowed to set up their gear until an hour after they were supposed to have finished playing :-O (or *sthg*...)
• Nonetheless, despite the frantic rush to wire our dozens of smart fluorescent cables together, we eventually began our set, startling the fulsome & impatient audience (who'd clearly been expecting some kind of limp Pets Shop Boyz affair from our boards of keyness) with our gritty punktastic sound - the clavinettastic crash und grind of A Different Story's first ever public performance raised their wee Dublin eyebrows.
• Delighted by the audience reception, we cracked on with the show. Young couples were seen waltzing on the dancefloor to the werld premiere of analogue pop classic Beachcomber...
• But within 15 minutes of us starting, it was all over, as the Slapdogs threw us off stage, adamant that the show's late start would not lead to the curtailment of any of their drum solos :-/ Still, as ewe can see from the photo, we took it rather well ;-)
