It'll take the Free P's to really publicise it for ya, or some of them boyo's from BBC... Ballymena Borough Clownsil
Two points - already had a potty pastor on The Nolan Show. Second - this year's line-up might not be to everyone's taste, but if it goes well this could be an annual event which will have a wider range of bands
no more slagging Mark, devildriver are fully amazing, and so are Nevermore, plus they're clearly more into metal than you :P lmao!!
