The first thing I remember about the Macroom Festival site was its size. It seemed tiny – just a hollow field with a covered stage in one corner. People were still trickling in, nosing the ground looking for mud-free patches to call home. Others, usually wearing Motorhead T-shirts, flopped down anywhere, getting themselves tuned up for the expected barrage of mud, blood, beer and rock ‘n’ roll. | The first thing I remember about the Macroom Festival site was its size.

En route to the Macroom Festival, we heard ourselves on the radio for the first time. Immediately, we screamed at Sigmund Freud, our driver, to pull the van into the side of the road. We listened to ‘Goin’ Steady ‘ until it faded. I felt great pride along with a sense of joy that made me feel as though I was floating. Then the DJ praised the record as a terrific debut from a new Dublin band, ‘The Rhythm Stars’. My good feelings fizzled away like air from a child balloon. | En route to the Macroom Festival, we heard ourselves on the radio for the first time.

But I got over it when we played an early evening slot at the Macroom Festival and went down well. Afterwards in the beer tent, people said we were going to ‘go international’. We watched famous people get drunk and fall over. A girl made a pass at the Lizard. We got invited to parties. After an hour in the beer tent, we were the best rock band on the planet. | But I got over it when we played an early evening slot at the Macroom Festival and went down well.
