The crowd came through, and the band will be there!

We're delighted to report that the crowd-funding project to bring the Special Consensus (USA) to Campbell's Tavern, Cloughanover, Headford, Co. Galway, on 11 Jan. 2015, has been a complete success. As of this morning (Tues. 4 Nov.), on the final day before the deadline, the project is 103% funded.

On 18 October we published Willie Campbell's first announcement of the project, in which Willie stated: 'This is our first attempt at this, and it could really open things up for music fans countrywide to broaden the gigs available.'

So: the attempt has been vindicated (with all the possibilities that may be opened up as a result), and the Special Consensus will be coming to Headford. That sounds like a win-win situation.
