Top Led Zeppelin tribute act to play the Róisín Dubh
Get ready to rock when No Stairway play Róisín Dubh on Saturday, 8th August.
Galway’s sublime Led Zeppelin tribute are a force of nature. No Stairway are Ronan O’Malley (guitar), Steven Sharpe (vocals), Shane O Malley (bass) and Bill Dunne (drums).
Cover bands may be part of the weekend scene, but the lads are keen to stress they offer something different, a genuine show.
“A lot of people have a negative view of covers, but all of us love playing them if they’re songs that we love,” says Shane.
“That’s what we’re going for.”
“And to take it out of when you go see bands and they’re in a pub, in a corner, and you’re not really listening, you’re just there,” says Steven Sharpe.
“But then to put on a show that’s more of a spectacle – a big stage, a big room, great tunes.”
Any Led Zeppelin fan looking for those little intricacies will enjoy a No Stairway show.
“We’re trying to do songs closer to the albums” says Shane.
“Onstage, backing vocals were hardly ever present. Occasionally, John Bonham would do them, but both myself and Bill will be doing backing vocals on the night. We’re trying to do as much with the material as we can.”
This promises to be a night classic rock – it might get loud! Doors 11.30pm, tickets €10.
