About Me

Sonic Productions Ltd. Dublin independent promoter started life as Toxic Promotions back in 1999 putting on Punk Rock and Ska bands that no one else was booking in Ireland at that time, some highlights along the way have been NOFX, The Misfits, Stiff Little Fingers, Shane McGowan, The Damned, Agnostic Front, Poison Idea, The Beat, Gang Green, The Dickies, Bad Manners, The Exploited, Sham 69, Sick Of It All, Marky Ramone, Subhumans, Bouncing Souls and Dropkick Murphys too many to mention, for a full list of all past and future events check out www.sonicproductions.ie..I also manage Irish Trad/Punk band Blood or Whiskey www.bloodorwhiskey.ie-www.myspace.com/bloodorwhiskey..I'm not on a mission to collect Myspace friends.. so if I don't add you it's because I don't know you, have never heard of you or your band, and have no interest in what you or your band do etc...don't take it personal
