The Waiting Room are appealing for the return of the equipment they had stolen on Monday after playing support to The Frames in Vicar St.

It's a major blow for the Cork band who'd only just replaced the gear they lost last year in a rehearsal room fire.

The items they're hoping to retrieve include a faded red Gibson SG Special and hardcase; black American Telehand hardcase; Travis Bean and hardcase, serial number 509; worn green Tanglewood Warrior bass; Fender Stage 100 amp combo; Fender Deluxe amp; and a Boss Turner Tu2 by 2 pedal.

If you're offered these or any other items of equipment in suspicious circumstances, contact your local Garda station or the band at (087) 9732589.
