Well, just to clear it up, we registered as "giveusthenight" but for some reason Myspace didn't send us on our verification key, so we've re-registered as "gutn".
Give Us The Night is an independent volunteer group of professionals within the music industry, campaigning to bring about a change to the licensing laws in Ireland, with particular regard to nightclubs.
We formed as a campaign group in September 2004, in response to Garda Síochána proposals recommending the curtailing of nightclub opening hours to 1.30 am from their current 2.30 am curfew.
Our instant response resulted in a nationwide print and internet campaign - www.giveusthenight.com - which in only 6 days garnered over 21,000 petitioned signatures supporting our position. It was subsequently ruled in the Dublin District Court on October 1st that the existing 2.30 am time limit for serving alcohol in the city's nightclubs would remain.
Currently our campaign is lobbying for sequential closing times between bars, late bars and nightclubs across Ireland and creating debate and logical discussion about licensing laws with a view to bringing in progressive Irish licensing laws for the whole country in the long term.
We encourage the public to read our mandate and to join our campaign. The eventual number of signature we receive shall be quoted to the Department Of Justice, Equality and Law Reform.

NEW FREE HERV DIGITAL RELEASE OUT NOW ON COCK ROCK DISCO!
Heres what label owner Jason Forrest had to say!
Herv: "Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..."
"Ireland's sexiest laptopper lands his latest mini-album on Cock Rock Disco! "Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..." is a rave inspired experimental break-acid-core thrill ride of endless ideas and possibilities. Herv packs a lot into the 8 tracks; melodies evolve and twist, beats fracture and congeal and synths collide! It's exciting! But that's not all, it comes with 2 cd designs and a freakin A0 sized poster! Whoa! Can't beat the value in that!"
It is my pleasure to announce that I shall be opening for Von Shakes at the Academy 2 (Middle Abbey Street), Dublin, Ireland this Friday October 9th at 8pm. Von Shakes will be releasing their new single on the night & you should definitely check these guys out!
