Before the world ended I tried to do a monthly posting of future punk gigs in Ireland and started to also try to post a bit of news of Irish Punk but for a long time there was No Future, there was No Hope but we got some glimmers of hope with the first gig that I can see actually happening near the end of July and lots of rescheduled tours in the future. I have posted everything I could find from Steve Ignorant – The Offspring as I say we are all starved of gigs at this stage. Irish punk news at the bottom.
