O'Neills Summer Tour Diary by BibleCodeSundays Drummer Carlton
Bristol June 4th
All ship shape and Bristol fashion as the lads head into the heart of cider country - with Cherry at the helm we are the Magner’s nificent 7- It’s Thursday night and the crowd need coaxing and cajoling into their stride
But we work hard on the heart strings and moneymakers are shaken and mojo’s twanged.
All in all it’s a good night with plenty of presence on the dance floor and good interaction between band and small but perfectly formed audience. All bodes well for a continuing summer of Magner’s musical mayhem- we know where you live !!
Wardour St, London May 31st
Sunday service and the first sitting at mass is quiet- the Pear Magners kick starts the gig and after an intimate first half the venue begins to swell pleasantly and stretches to full girth- The Biblecode brass section Rico and Paul are special guests and bolster up some of the funkier cuts from the Boots album.
There’s a squash of wild dervish dancing in front of the boys as they sport the drinking (responsibly) all day caps during a rocking second set- O’Neill’s parties on into the wee small hours with the troops marshalled by Captain Kirsty whilst the BCS armoured car trundles off into the soho dawn looking for bangers and mash-
Didsbury, Manchester May 30
We came, we saw, we Magner’d -
Members of the Biblecode cabinet flip their 2nd homes to take up summer residence in O’Neill’s.
20 million people tune in to Britain’s got talent but the Didsbury discerning turn out to kick off the
Tour and get up close with the music.
It’s a good crowd boosted by stags and hens and the BCS roosters cause havoc in the coop- a lively workout through the band favourites and a healthy sprinkling of top notch covers sees the super sized Saturday audience fully satisfied. Afterwards we do our sponsors proud with some internal product placement and chew the cud with Tessa and the O’Neill dignitaries. A top night- mad for it our kid .

BCS Rock The Catskills
The lads had a great time up in East Durham, NY on Memorial Day Weekend. They played 3 nights in the Blackthorne Resort with New York's own Black 47, the legendary Derek Warfield and the Young Wolfetones and Boston's The Gobshites.
"We always love playing new places and it was great to play to new audiences and make some new friends as well as seeing some old ones. We definitely would love to do it again" said Ronan

O'Neills Summer Tour sponsored by Magners Irish Cider
The BibleCodeSundays are to take their brand of "Bottle Slammin' Irish Rock" round the UK with the O'Neills Summer Tour sponsored by Magners Irish Cider.
The tour will bring them to O'Neills pubs all around the country "It is a very exciting opportunity for us and one we are very much looking forward to" said Patrick Franklin, fiddle player for the Celtic Rock 6 piece.
New version of 'Ghosts of Our Past' now available from this website!
The BCS lads went into the studio before the US release of Ghosts of Our Past last September and remixed and rerecorded some parts of the album, including a completely new version of 'Better Man Than Me' with special guest and good friend Adam Brown on guitar. This version was previously only available in the USA but it is now available to the entire world via this website. click here
"We wanted to go in and put the finishing touches to the album that we never had the budget to do first time around. We were very proud of the album when we released it back in 2006 but now we feel it is even better, new and improved for 2009" said singer Ronan

A Big Thank You from the Boys!
After a very busy but very successful US tour The BibleCodeSundays would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone that helped to make it such a good trip.
"We made some great new friends and played to some fantastic audiences and we can't wait to do it again" said singer Ronan.
"A very special 'Tanx' has to be said to the lads from the Dropkick Murphy's who looked after us and played an amazing show themselves in Boston. They really made our St Patrick's Day"

The Boys of Queens Video Appeal
As you may already know our song "The Boys of Queens" on the "Ghosts of Our Past" album was written as a tribute to the FDNY FireFighters. We have recorded a brand new video for the song but it is not complete, we need high resolution footage Fire Dept related (especially related to the proud Irish tradition within the department). We need either still photographs or video footage to really make the final edit a fitting tribute to these brave men. We will be donating a percentage of any profits to a FDNY charity, we have been trying to contact the department directly but with no luck, we would very much like to speak to someone to work out the best way of going about all this
