Sitting in the morning after glow, or lets be honest pissing rain, reflecting on my first time seeing Thin Lizzy last night, I've come to realise why this is a real, full on band, and not a poor imitation a la Guns n Roses.

Januarys was a great success introducing the early kick off we are back again in Ma Nelsons this Saturday for more Rock from 5pm kicking it off this month is Sister Marko playing their very first RRNI Live gig also playing their first RRNI gig is Sister Marko with Worldsend headlining who did a great slot for us last year .

All these bands feature in various shows on RRNI this week!

Remember it's only £4 into the gig and you get free entry to the Bad Medicine Rock Club which will be featuring RRNI Dj's Davy Warren and Phil Black

The RRNI Team at Twitter Fest had a ball well run evening in a great venue !  ,   Trucker rocked the place and picked up a few new fans!  , for those that missed it we put our new Zoom Q3HD Recorder to the test as well as Launching our new You Tube Channel http://www.youtube.com/rockradioni

 

“Did you know, there are a huge number of people in the world today who are effectively blind but who, with a little bit of help, would be perfectly able to see again.”


On the 25th May 5 of Northern Ireland's top bands will come together to perform and raise awareness to visually impaired people all over the world. The chosen charity is for Sightsavers International, a worldwide charity that aims to help the visually impaired where there is no help, in places like Africa, Asia & The Carribean.

WE have an inclination to muse and dwell upon tragedy, even assocating ourselves with the Facebook pages and liking the campaigns they spawn: for there is nothing more poignant than not being able to express how a distant, remote figure has been able to touch us, lift us, or even just make us smile with what they did in the public eye.

HERE'S a quick list of the upcoming Distortion Project shows...if anyone else has shows they want on the blog This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
