Paul Weller Irish Dates

CiaranK

Paul Weller is playing at the Seasessions festival in Donegal 25th or 26th June (Not sure what night), Live at the Marquee 27th June and 5 nights at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin 16th-20th November.

I would love to catch one of those Olympia dates.

Same as that!!! I haven't seen Weller before always ended up missing him stupidly, been busy, I was gutted when he announced the Cork date and I realized that on that date I wouldn't be here either

Not gonna miss these Dublin gigs!!!!

Anyone here seen him before??? whats he like??? does he play many Jam tunes???

TIA.

Not yet Ciaran - have been busy buying tickets for everything else :-)
will try and get some, have seen him a couple of times in the Olympia before and thought he was excellent both times (and that special mini show in HMV Grafton St. a few years ago ) , definitely worth seeing.....

Goose - not sure what the set list will be like this time around, promoting the new album, bu would assume there'll be 1 or 2, Malice is certainly expected whenever he plays......going to watch the first 15 mins tonight - should be good...

I have no idea, I was wondering the same thing myself.

funny thing Ciaran - I don't think I've bothered with any of the supports he's had over here, none of them held my attention, pretty sure they've just been thrown on by MCD......

have to try and get my tickets on payday......

Really, I would have thought they would have been good support acts seeing as it's Paul Weller. Hopefully it will be somebody good, if not I'll just get there before he is on.

Wow, That was some gig! Played for nearly 2 hours. Great mix of songs too. Setlist (http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/paul-weller/2010/olympia-theatre-dublin-ireland-53d5477d.html). The only issue I had was with the sound. It was really loud. Normally I love this, but at times last night it was uncomfortable loud. He was gonna come back for another encore but they turned the house lights on. They were tuning up they kept the house lights on and they stopped tuning and everybody just left.

Anybody going tonight should go to the Mercantile after the show. A great photo exhibition in there running till Sunday. Last night there was a DJ doing Weller stuff to. It's only across the road from the Olympia, worth checking out.

glad you enjoyed it Ciaran, looks like I won't get to see him this time around ( crazy with him doing so many dates too )......just have too much on, off to Manchester on Friday, then have Misery Index on Tuesday and WASP Sat week....then I'm nearly after forgetting I've Napalm Death on Dec 1st.......I'm gonna be a tired old man.......

was there any support of note in the end ???

Hi Nibbs, Thanks. I didn't catch the support. They were The Bees. They had just finished when I got in. I know the feeling about having so much on. Then there could be nothing for months. Nice gigs comming up for you!

I've been dieing to see Paul Weller live, but the tickets for the Olympia were too expensive for me top get, argh! Next time, next time.

About the photo exhibition in The Mercantile, is it free to go into and just look around during the day? Or is it in the bar so you get a pint and then look at the exhibition? I'd really love to see it! Glad to see it was a good gig last night too!

You're a complete legend, thank you so much for posting this!!! The gig was great, my ears are still ringing! Does anyone happen to have a complete set list? I can only remember bits and pieces. In no particular order: Aim High, Moonshine, No Tears to Cry, Trees, Fast Car/Slow Traffic, Pieces of Dream, Wake Up the Nation, Andromeda, Start!, Shout to the Top, 22 Dreams, Pretty Green and now my mind seems to have drawn a blank. I was kinda hoping for Eton Rifles

Just to check, the Marvin Gaye cover was 'How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)', wasn't it?

It sure was,


I was there Wednesday night, Great Gig, The best opening I've seen in a long time, They burst on and exploaded into Moonshine, which went straight into From the Floorboards Up, The energy was terrific, Weller looked and sounded like a performer half his age! Great mix of Jam tunes and Style Council favourite, Shout to the Top which probably got the best reaction of the night, The crowd were sometimes lazy and muted in their appreciation, only a few joining in the clapping and sing alongs, There was a bit of a lull mid set when it seemed Weller wasn't gonna get back on the guitar, he sat on the piano for a good few slow tunes, then left for a smoke and came back to Wake Up the Nation and the pace and energy all came rushing back! Great gig, for anyone going tonight and tomorrow, Enjoy!
