    Yeah you're fine. I was actually in row E last night, nice and close but not too close so you won't get picked on.

    I don't think Dara O Briain does that kind of thing in his shows (at least not in a nasty way). I hope not anyway 'cause I'm going to see him tonight.:)

    He banters with the crowd all the time... Doesn't do it in a mean way but he does tend to pick people and then include them in the show...

    He does, he did and he will (but in a nice way)

    dara o briain was fantastic. he doesn't pick on people in any nasty way, sure he has a laugh and some banter with people, but that's part of his charm. and he's unbelievably quick witted, which i adore him for :D

    Dara was brilliant on Friday night, but so disappointed with the Marquee seating set up, I was in row E in Block A, down by the front.... The seats were back breaking and I was practically sitting on the person beside me.... Why did they cable tie the seats so they are overlapping?

    ahhh, thought my back was just weak. the seats in tiered section weren't any better, those seats were shocking. my back has been in agony since. :(

    The Marquee is a **** venue, I'll never go back.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,195 ✭✭✭goldie fish


    Did I hear Jessie J cancelled?

    Seating in the marquee is awful. The seats on the flat are too close to your neighbour to be comfortable, so you end up sitting at a twisted angle for the night. There is more room on the tiered seats, but the ones at the side have you sitting at a similarly twisted angle to see the stage, and the ones at the back are too far away to see whats going on without binoculars.

    Jessie J has been deferred until tomorrow night due to a logistical problem. Tickets for tonight will be valid for tomorrow. Linky

    Is she still playing on the third as planned.

    I don't know but I would imagine so. As tonight's cancellation wasn't for personal reasons I'd say it'll be going ahead as normal. I feel sorry for the people who can't make tomorrow night though.

    Is it true she greeted the crowd with "Hello Dublin" and later told them to shut up?

    am not sure about the Dublin thing cause it was very hard to hear her when she was talking cause of all the screaming but she did ask everyone to be quiet cause she couldn't hear the music in her ear

    fault of the sound tech surely. Imagine, kids at a pop concert getting excited and raising their voices...shock horror :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,985 ✭✭✭mikeym


    Bloody Taxi drivers blocked up the whole area after the gig.

    And I left early and all.

    :mad:

    can someone tell me the name of the band/act that she praised at last nights show in Cork? I can't remember it? And also if possible, the name of the song she played from that band? It was a soul kind of band if my memory serves me right.

    cheers..
