    Did they pull an Aslan and do 'where mes jumper' a number of times lol

    Was at Aslan in Waterford last Friday and it was quite a good gig, we got Crazy world in the middle and for the encore. They played 'lovin me Lately' which was a surprise but it had a brief stoppage because someone had a fall in the front row and the band stopped the gig to make sure the person was OK and gave them the guitarists stool too sit on and then resumed the song. Christy is sounding and looking well again thankfully. I'd say the made in Dublin revisited gig's in Vicar Street over xmas will be brilliant

    Was very impressed with Savages at EP

    Can I count KKC followed by LCD (at EP) as one gig? Damn that was an incredible 3 hours!

    I only was at 6 gigs this year. Out of this

    - the farewell gig of FIGHT LIKE APES at Whelans was probably the best (because it was so emotional).
    - THE CURE in Cologne wasn't bad either.

    Usher and the Roots - Austin, was really good, better than expected.
    77 Bombay Street - St Moritz, free and great atmosphere, was good fun.
    Taylor Swift - Austin, she was excellent despite having a runny nose.
    Beyoncé - Croke Park, first time to go to Croke Park for a concert, next time I want to be on the pitch. She put on a good show.
