No plans for Ireland even if someone is willing to book and pay for them? Seems a bit of a crap answer. I understand they have other commitments, but surely their booking agent can fit an Ireland show in?

Was about to say - only one gig left in the tour section.

I find it all a bit sad to be honest as I believe this is the first album ever where they have not done a headlining gig in Dublin (hey, would even go to Cork), then again, I could be wrong.

Maybe they are just taking a break, who knows. Maybe they are gonna start recording the next one.

It sucks donkey balls! :mad:

And before some wisearse rehashes a previous argument - no I do not want to fly abroad to see them.

At least you showed some inicitive and balls by trying to book them yourself which is a hell of alot better than whinning about them not playing here which is what 99.999% of people do.
I salute you, good sir.

Cork would be a bit far for me though, I reckon Dublin is the most central city for gigs in ireland (although it is your show, you can have it where you like :D ).
But you stick the show on a saturday and get some other cool bands on the bill (would the answer be asking too much..? ) and ill be there.

Yep Mr POO, The Answer would be asking far too much :). I choose Cork because it was the best place that I have ever seen them and I know people who have loads of experience in putting on gigs down in Cork. Ah well, looks like it doesn’t matter any way.

And to add on the loyalty point, I was at both of those support slots.

I go on about this quite a lot, but they didn’t play Belfast on the Semi-Detached tour - which was even more annoying for me at the time cos I was yet to see them at that point :(

Kudos for trying to book them anyway Kill Hill. Maybe you were “fobbed off” because a gig is already planned or something? Fingers crossed anyway

Thanks for the initiative though , KH , that’s exactly the spirit we need.

If push would have come to shove I would’ve had no problem in chipping in a couple of hundred shekels for the good cause if that would have been necessary.

Thanks for the offer Cuchulain, who knows I may get back to you.

Not even a Lotto grant are gonna get T? to play over here I’m afraid. This is all a bit shit really, isn’t it??

I think “lack of touring” isn’t the right expression…
They toured, not that much as we’re used to, indeed, but they did quite some countries they usually don’t, which I think is a very good thing. I do believe it get’s boring to tour the same countries and play the same venues over and over again, playing for a new audience is a good challenge I think…

I believe to have read on here from people who met them at gigs, said they’re writing some new material in beween the touring… which is also a positive thing.

OK, they have been to Belgium enough times - never again! :p

I am sure there is a valid reason for the quiet, an update would be nice.

My guess is that they are simply taking a break.

Still, this fact that they didn’t do headliner = pants and I hope our time will come again soon.

get off your high horse, i’ll complain if i wasn’t to. I have traveled all over to see Paradise Lost and i have no problem doing that and the reason that i have no problem doing that is because they don’t come from Ireland. Therapy? do come from here so its hardly unreasonable to expect a headline show over here.

Not everything Therapy do is right, they are human, humans make mistakes and it is a mistake not to play a show over here.

Im with Kill Hill on this one. Every time T? play in Ireland they say that’s it great to be at home (or something along those lines). I realise that they don’t have a large fan base in Ireland but they are still guaranteed a close to sell out crowd at any show they play here.
Its great to tour countries where they haven’t traditionally played but to not consider doing a ‘home’ show is extremely disappointing to say the least. If I want to see a bland pop act I just have to throw my shoe down the street but hardly any QUALITY rock or metal acts play here anymore (and its even worse outside Dublin)

Let me set something straight here: I’m convinced they’re not making any mistake now, doesn’t mean I think all they do is right!

I don’t want to be rude here, but no matter where they play, at every gig I’ve been to they said “it’s great to be here again”.

:D

they’ll be waiitng along time
