'I like the Ginger Kid, but not in a sexy way...I love the raw energy of the performance, guitars blaring and one hell of a riff!'- James Jame, NME New Bands Editor {ATL Rockschool judge}
The Q are a bluesy punk outfit hailing from Derry City, Northern Ireland.
Their soulful sound is influenced by countless bands and artists ranging from
The Clash to Kasabian, the Stones to the Strokes, you get the idea... Paul
Connolly leads the group, Tom Nicholl and Thomas Doherty perform guitar duties,
and Barry Fahy compliments this on bass while Rory Nicholl plays drums. They
take a passionate approach to their music, their lyrics are fresh and offer
escape from the normal constrictions of everyday scenarios while still bearing a
message. Over the two years The Q have been together they have developed a love
of hats, maroon cars, Mikado Biscuits and Spike Milligan literature works. Over
the summer the band went into an undisclosed countryside location to hibernate
for a week with a diet of fishing, cooking, cycling and interpretive dance
whilst wearing shaving foam in a gale force storm.
They have participated in the final of the ATL ROCKSCHOOL for two years running
which was televised on BBC NI, where their music was remarked upon by Neil
Hannon, Sandi Thom, Imran of Abeano Music, Michael of Therapy?, James Jam, NME,
Rory of Radio 1 and have also been featured on their ’BEST OF ATL’ programme
which was aired last month alongside such acts as Duke Special and Cold War
Kids. They have played alongside prominent Northern Ireland band Oppenheimer,
who are signed to Bar/None in America.
They write and play and sing these songs for every one of you who need music. So
from the Q to you Good music and Retro Rock for all

HURT (alcohol/drug abuse org in Derry) are organising a charity gig in July as major citywide youth event possibly at Guildhall... going to be massive. You guys possibly around to play? :)
sorry about that I must have told you the wrong one.
That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all crazy because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like things and stuff instead of cash.
But anyways, the correct site is
R E A D Y 1 2 . C O M
it's the one I am making $900 a week with putting in about 24 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm bored.
After you get your membership make sure you sign up with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay the most, I got $55 for one that took me 30 minutes today. You'll see what I'm rambling about when you get in there.
Megan started taking them too and she's making $750 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.
Alright well me and Timmy are getting ready to leave, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership. see ya!
Thank you for the lovely words of loveliness. You guys were really ace in the castle, even with multiple shocks from dicky electrics!! The single is brilliant too! Much better on vinyl than on CD, or even cassette tape!! I'll be catching you guys when you're next playing fer defs! Thanks again, HCTLG (The one with the big beard)
