Live @ The Gonzo Theatre – The Radioactive Grandma (May 2011)

Hiya folks! So I’ve been going through some old hard drives recently, organising files and looking through old projects, when I happened upon some live video footage from a few events during 2011. The first here was a live performance by fantastic Cavan band The Radioactive Grandma, who played at the opening of The Gonzo Theatre’s Album launch night back in May 2011.

Unfortunately, the physical Gonzo Theatre itself which once resided above the Imperial Hotel, Cavan Town, no longer exists. However the Gonzo Theatre group themselves are still going strong and continue to stage shows throughout the country. For more info on The Gonzo Theatre, check out their website at http://thegonzotheatre.blogspot.ie/ or check out my documentary “Going Gonzo” about the early beginnings of the theatre and the motivations of those involved:

So back to the live footage. Here are a few songs performed by The Radioactive Grandma in the Gonzo Theatre on that fateful night in June 2011:
