No Stairway for Led Zeppelin show at Monroe’s

Galway’s sublime Led Zeppelin tribute band No Stairway will play Monroe’s Live this Friday, January 16, offering people a chance to kick off the weekend off in glorious style.

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 a show rather than just a routine tribute gig.

“A lot of people have a negative few 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.”

Steven Sharpe agrees.

“To put on a show that’s more of a spectacle – a big stage, a big room, great tunes,” he says.

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. We’re trying to do as much with the material as we can.”

This promises to be a night of classic rock so expect it to get loud!

Doors at 9pm, tickets €8/€5 online.
