  • WiseguyWill was there 100% for Amon Amarth · Thu, 22 Jan 2015

    Still kind of hard to believe it actually happened. Probably the best gig I've been to at the Arts Centre and I've been to some corkers.

  • A guest 80% for Amon Amarth · Thu, 22 Jan 2015

    Had never seen any of the bands before Thursday night. Due to health issues was touch & go as to whether i could attend. Glad i did. What a night! Minor technical issues aside it was one of the better gigs i've been to. Thoroughly enjoyed each set & would (and have) recommended to friends to come along next time if they come back
