I’d have to agree with Aisling on this one. There are several Irish bands doing the rounds at the moment who could draw as much of a crowd as the same novelty acts that appear in SUs around the country, such as S Club, The Venga Boys and FIve. Just look at the draw that the HWCH had a few weeks ago in the city centre. Also, more could be done to promote bands that actually go to UCD, like the Enileven gig a couple of weeks ago which pulled a fairly decent crowd (although it must be said that this was a free gig).

In reply to Aisling Browne. Any suggestions for Darcy then seen as you're so critical?

I find that this year’s UCD ents are terrible. I thought that Darcy was going to bring some good new events and new acts to ucd but no, we still have to deal with bands such as the venga boys and s club (who can’t even be called s club 7 anymore because there is only 2) and five (who also only have two members) these acts aren’t even worth 2 euro they’ve been done before. Look at trinity ents and how well Chris o’ connor is doing, he is bringing good night and brilliant acts. Stop with the second rate acts, it’s embarrassing. Yes LMFAO had one good song but I’d say they cost a lot. Not good. If the freshers ball was a loss and you say that Lil’John was such a hit, then why weren’t all the tickets sold, because no one liked the line up. I am actually getting so angry at this rate I think I could actually predict who is going to play at the ucd ball. Definitely not Kid Cudi anyway like Darcy promise. Maybe if you put more of the profit into getting good acts then you could bring up the ucd ents reputation instead of keeping it, getting shit acts, which then make our colleges ents look like utter crap. Sort it.
