Pick Your Rock and Metal

Metal across the pond

It's not unusual to find metal in the strangest of places...even in work!

Today during what is loosely called a cultural exchange my workplace (that's the place that pays the mortgage...) hosted 47 Canadian students. Amongst them fans of rock and metal.

Engaging them in conversation it was clear that while we think we have a hard time travelling from Belfast to Dublin for gigs, we have nothing on these guys!

Hailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia, a Euopean or US metal band rolls by about once in a blue moon. And if they want to travel to Toronto or Montreal to worship at the altar of metal, it's a 15 hour car journey there - and back! Makes our 2-hour jaunt to Dublin seem a piss in the park!

Hi to Sean and everyone for dropping into NICCY, hope you enjoy your stay in Belfast and, hey guys not my fault your going home on Saturday and Dragnforce are playing on Sunday...
