As the full house at last week’s Stepping Stones live final proved, the future of rock’n’roll in Greystones is in damn good shape.
Eight of the finalists in this year’s inaugural Battle Of The Bands performed in front of fans old and new, and the joint, as the late, great Sir Chuck of Berry would say, was rockin’.
We’ll be announcing the winners this coming weekend, but, if there was a money god who could match the Greystones Municipal District Council’s €1,500 donation for prizes eight times over, each of the acts featured would deserve first place.
You can hear the bands for yourself right here – including the mighty Niall Woods, who was in New Orleans for the live final – and check out our interviews with the town’s future rock gods at the gig itself. In the meantime, the rockin’ Faye Bollard was on hand to take some glorious pics of the day.
We’ve featured just some of the highlights – catch the full gallery right about here. And catch Faye’s take on Greystones here.
