Warlock reunites for Halloween

07 October 2003: On Friday 31 October a group of guys from Kildare and Newbridge will re-unite to celebrate the 21st anniversary of one of the first ever heavy rock bands formed in Kildare.

Warlock played music from Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy and other rock giants carving out a name for themselves as a formidable live act. Having fronted Mamas Boys and played gigs and open air festivals throughout the county the boys drifted their separate ways playing in countless other bands over the last two decades.

Some years back they played together purely for fun in Lil Flanagan's in Kildare and last year, to a packed audience in the Geraldine Rooms in the Silken Thomas Kildare, they resurrected the sort of show that made them a cut above the rest all those years ago. For those lucky enough to get in it truly was a night to remember, as much for the special effects, light and sound show as for the musical feast on offer.

While the boys have been working hard to put this Halloween spectacular together they are also aware that there is a fun element involved and promise an evening of entertainment to all who attend.

They will be preceded by special guests THE GEORGE WASHINGTON RYTHMN AND BLUES BAND and PAUL KEOGH and the gig will start at 10 p.m. (the doors open at 9). BE EARLY.

Tickets are available from DK MUSIC in Newbridge and THE RAILWAY STORES in Kildare as well as from individual band members (Mario 086- 8913274; Gonzo 087-9252900 and Sherry 087-2668038).
