Theres no doubt it ll be a great night in Dolans, but for the benefit of the Indielimerick followers there's absolutly no doubt that Gerard stayed back for 6 hours and released 3 climbers that had been left for dead. Photographic evidence and one eyewitness can confirm this. Gerard was a lover of Irishmusic and his band in Alaska are a testiment to this. Anyone that can are asked to please come along to the gig and have a great night.
