THE STUNNING (Warwick Hotel, Salthill)

SO AFTER nearly eight years together, The Stunning have finally decided to call it a day. Trouble is, nobody’s quite sure exactly which day. I was here last night to see their “final” gig only to be told that they were playing again tonight (and this after their “last ever” gig at Féile a fortnight ago).

Everything that rises may eventually have to fall but The Stunning seem to be managing to hit a few branches of the money tree on their way down. Fair enough I suppose – rose-tinted shades ain’t as cheap as they used to be.
