    'In the days when you were hopelessly poor, I just liked you more...'

    You better believe it, Moz.

    I would have loved a lot more Smiths songs. He sounded great and the band sounded great, would have been the dream. But apart from that it was an excellent concert.

    Thought it was perfect tbh. Nice career spanning mix from the 80s right up until now. Thought My Hurling Days Are Done was huge.

    The Morrissey gig was brilliant, great band and some good new songs, (his agressive/malignant vibe notwithstanding).

    Pedantic note - The Smiths did Megamix (Irish TV show) in 1987.

    It's easy to understand where the anger is coming from though, especially for artists who try to remain individuals, which artists should be and should be free to be. But, yeah, it's a bit too intense at times. Still, to control that and deliver such a show at 64 is pretty special. Never really was a fan of Morrissey post Smiths, but that was an excellent concert.

    yes he was really on blistering form, couldn't take your eyes off him, totally present

    when he sang "give me a cigarette" and he managed to catch the cigarette that came flying from the audience and then used it as a prop, priceless

    the cod Irish accent banter was hilarious too

    I really liked the (relatively) new band lineup and to see him in that venue was special

    Just been to the Cala Mijas Festival in Málaga this weekend.

    The headliners were Arcade Fire (incredible, I've been a big fan for yours and had high hopes which thankfully were met), the Strokes (sound was off, Julian Casablancas didn't seem too bothered but the music was good) and Florence and the Machine (amazing show though I'm not so familiar with her stuff, great connection with the crowd). Other bands I saw were Metronomy (insane energy and sound, really enjoyable), Amyl and the Sniffers (reminded me of Motorhead, really loud and really fast) and Siouxsie (good sound and decent performer). Saw a few other Spanish bands, Lori Meyers are brilliant live. Cariño were another good one.

    I was there too. Had kinda the opposite opinion of the headliners. Arcade Fire didn't really live up to my really high expectations. I think they're the best live band on the planet usually, but maybe it was just the mood I was in. The Strokes blew me away.. Up there with the best I've seen them, and I've been seeing them since 2002. Couldn't hack Florence. Just not my kinda thing. Belle and Sebastian were my surprise of the weekend. They were amazing! Such feel good vibes

    I had to leave to get the bus back before Belle and Sebastian started but my friend's a big fan and she loved it. The clips I've seen seemed like fun.

    I'll freely admit I'm biased when ti comes to Arcade Fire because they're one of my favourite bands and it was the first time I saw them live. The others who came with me were seeing them for the first time and loved them too.

    We were to the left of the stage for the Strokes and the sound was terrible for the first few songs. It also took a while for Julian Casablancas to get going, he seemed to liven up after a few drinks. It wasn't a bad show but I wasn't overly impressed, especially given how much other bands were able to connect with the crowd.

    Yeah, I've seen both The Strokes and Arcade Fire five or six times each and would rate Arcade Fire as a better live act by a huge distance. Maybe it was just a case of my expectations being a lot higher for Arcade Fire. Lovely little festival all the same!

    It's a cool little festival. I'd definitely recommend it. Nowhere near the scale of Electric Picnic, but they do it well. The big acts alternate between the two main stages, so when one finishes, you just head over to the other stage and they never clash. It starts pretty late each day.. Most people just head over around 7/8, so can head down to the village or the beach during the day. It's a strange set-up with the campsite being a bus ride away, but to be fair to them there were courtesy shuttle buses to both the town during the day and the festival in the evening and back again. I think there's very cheap tickets going if you get them early, which we didn't. Can be as cheap as €90 for the whole three days.

    Good support too. Well impressed with the Cork lads God Alone, i'd be delighted to see them at an Irish festival. Also Venus Twins were fun, despite their technical issues. A drummer from the Keith Moon school 😁
