ST PAT 2024 / CD RELEASE WEEKEND

Having played a handful of, if we daresay, successful 2024 gigs, we at BoB are well prepared for the upcoming Saint Patrick’s Day festivities.
It promises to be all the more festive, as we then also launch our new cd and matching new t shirt !

We kick off (again) in BIBELOT, Dordrecht, on Saturday March 16th. Also on the bill that night are young upstarts THE BURNING PUBCRAWLERS and longtime mates DRUNKEN DOLLY.

After a probably rather short night, we set sail to IRISH PUB VLAARDINGEN, where we play on Sunday March 17th, starting at 16.30 h.

To wrap up this weekend in true rock’n’roll style, that day we also play the St. Patrick’s Day event at De Grote Markt in Den Haag, where we throw the after party in DE ZWARTE RUITER, mayhem commencing at around 23.00 h.

Hoping to see you guys around, SLAINTE !!

On Saturday February 11th we play at Time Out in Roosendaal.

Post-corona 2022

Whereas the Saint Patrick’s Day 2020 festivities were cancelled just a few days before they were bound to happen, Saint Patrick’s Day 2022 suddenly was on. We had a blast being on stage for a series of gigs again. Highlight was playing at Holland’s biggest Saint Patrick’s Day festival in The Hague. Though this again almost didn’t happen, due to a line-up change one month prior and one of us falling ill the night before (!). Luckily, we at BoB can rely on a few former members to help us out when needed. Thumbs up for Peter and Wouter. Once a bastard, always a bastard!
Summer 2022 saw us playing some nice festivals, such as Hrieps and Hootchiekoe. Autumn had some smaller gigs in store, after which we spent a weekend in the recording studio.

BoB were in the studio

We spent a weekend in the studio. Expectations about how many songs we would be able to record within the span of just two days varied from a modest ‘maybe three’ to an overly optimistic ‘maybe eight’.

We played ‘live in the studio’, to capture how we sound on stage. It felt like rehearsing or like gigging without an audience, apart from finding ourselves surrounded by a shit load of mikes. Things went smoothly and well above our wildest expectations: in eleven hours we found ourselves having recorded no less than eleven songs, after which we spent a few hours doing backing vocals and just a minimum of other overdubs. The recordings came out fab (we think), so we are much looking forward to sharing them with you soon.

We had 6 new BoB songs and an Irish trad on our sleeves, which we recorded within a day. So we decided we might as well re-record four of our earlier songs, as we now sound different than before. So brace yourselves.
