6TH B-DAY and X-MAS BASH



Super big thanks to all that came along for one of the best nights of the year.

It was a line up that combined not one but four of our favourite DJs; Donal Dineen, Billy Scurry, Jon Averill & Little Dave. All of them hit the mark and more on the night. And with hordes spilling out of Primal Scream there was a really big night had at The Underground. Incredible atmosphere!

Lil' Dave finally made his Big Dish Go debut in Kennedys. As a resident at Nightflight and Pygmallion is an ever present and always enthusiastic name on the scene.

Jon made his name as a promoter and DJ through his involvement in club nights in Dublin from 2004 such as Space Camp, Backlash, Shock and Nightflight before decamping to London in back in 2009.

Donal Dineen is a much needed antidote to the acquired DJ accents & pre-determined playlists which seems to the standard in Irish broadcasting when he started on Today Fm back in 1997. he has been a leading figure in highlighting fantastic music both Irish & international ever since. The sheer volume of music that Donal has turned us on to could fill several record boxes alone. His long running stint on Today FM finally concluded this year but Donal's impact on the music scene in Ireland has been so vast its hard to quantify and we look forward to his next project with anticipation. We we're elated to have to play at this party, he was fantastic on the night.

Billy Scurry finished off the night. Still a massively respected talent, Billy came to prominence in the 90s holding down residencies at clubs such as The Temple of Sound, Sides, The Kitchen and The Ormond to name but just a few. The fact that he is still very much in demand is proof enough of his abilities.

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL THAT SUPPORTED US IN 2011 AND OVER OUR 6 YEARS. ITS YOU THAT HAS MADE BIG DISH GO SO SPECIAL xxx

OH YES AND A MERRY CHRIMBO!
