After Sunday nights Rammstein extravaganza, up next was Shania Twain in Musgrave Park tonight.
Delta Goodrem was opening act and she was amazing. Quite the voice for a live performance, what a set of lungs she has on her. Performed a mini greatest hits set including Innocent Eyes and Wings to name but a few.
Rag N Bone Man was up next and despite not being to my taste, he was a real crowd pleaser.
Then the main woman herself came on to rapturous applause. A brilliant greatest hits set, which thoroughly pleased and engaged the crowd. She did have a few slip ups in forgetting lyrics but she powered on through with great humour. She did pause the show for a while when people in the Golden Circle made her aware to a medical emergency and Shania asked for assistance for the ill fan. She was very concerned for her fan and was greatly relieved to be given the thumbs up that the individual concerned was going to OK but was taken to hospital as a precaution (I hope they are feeling better and it's nothing serious). She finished the night with Any Man Of Mine and Man, I Feel Like A Woman which had the vast majority of fans on their feet, dancing and belting out the songs.

With all the big gigs and festivals taking place this weekend, good to see sanity remaining in The Grand Social with a noise-fest triple-bill that attracted a very decent crowd last night to see Gouge Away, Teenage Wrist and Angel Du$t.
Justice Tripp, singer with Angel Du$t, before smashing you in the face with a shovel load of loudness. Very impressive.

I enjoyed that…
Not a pop princess in sight. No spangles, no sequins. The most visible flesh on display was the drummer's head. This was rock royalty, dressed in black, white and denim. And not a single person around me was chattering, or heading off to the bar to bring a handful of pints back. 1,500 at Vicar Street who I am convinced made more noise on a pro-rata basis than would have been produced at the Aviva

The Wolfe Tones at Musgrave Park tonight.
First up was Ispiní na hÉireann, who were good, then The Scratch, followed by the Sharon Shannon Band who invited Imelda May and Mundy on stage, and they paid tribute to Shane and Christie which went down a storm with the crowd.
Finally the main act themselves, The Wolfe Tones, came on. A staggering performance, these guys are amazing and I think I can safely say that the Rebel County gave them a spectacular send off. The setlist was exceptional, the crowd up for it, it was a recipe for success. They also got a few digs in at RTE prior to singing the iconic Celtic Symphony, which was a big hit with the Cork crowd. Thank you The Wolfe Tones for 60 years of heartfelt, stomping rebel music. I will remember this night forever.

Opening with a couple of slower ones to give the shams who ran up from Croker a chance to catch their breath was a genius move.
First time seeing them in nearly 20 years and they're just an utterly fantastic, incredibly tight band, they've got the turbo trad stuff down, but stuff like Clare island, Green and Red of mayo and share the darkness (which I'm gutted they didn't play) are stone cold classics, and to win just once is top 10 greatest Irish songs ever written.
First time in Fairview as well, cracking set up and sound was solid, handy walk back after as well.
