Bruce Springsteen In Ireland

springsteen-ie

Hi
We are working on a book about Bruce Springsteen's concerts in Ireland down the years. The book will include stories from fans, as well as much else.
We launched an appeal for stories in the Irish media and on fan sites in June and have had a great response.
We just wanted to add a message here as we saw previous Springsteen tours have been discussed on the board.
You can contact us at springsteeninireland@googlemail.com if you'd like more information or would like to be a part of it.
We've copied some text from the 'Point Blank' Springsteen site below.

Bruce Springsteen’s Irish concerts have been highlights of recent tours – with Bruce regularly paying tribute to the dedication of Irish fans. Now a new book will track Bruce's connections, gigs and haunts in Ireland over two decades.

And the authors of 'Springsteen in Ireland' are appealing to fans for their help. “Bruce has talked many times about what a great welcome he gets here in Ireland” says one of the book’s authors, Greg Lewis. “And every time he tours the tickets sell out in record time. We're going to trace every connection between the E Street and Ireland, and Bruce's fans will be a major part of that. We’re looking for fans' stories, memories and pictures. We launched the appeal for stories on fan sites last week and the response has been phenomenal – from fans around Ireland and from across Europe and America”.

Springsteen first played in Ireland at Slane Castle in 1985 and has returned for sell-out shows in Belfast and Dublin. In September 2007, tickets for his show that December at the Odyssey Arena sold out in a record-breaking eight minutes, and he recently returned to play to 110,000 fans at three sell-out concerts at the RDS in Dublin.

Fans can contribute stories and pictures to the book by contacting Greg and co-author Moira Sharkey at: springsteeninireland@googlemail.com

Just got a PM from you... eh, are you PM'ing everyone who posted in the Springsteen thread?

Hope you don't mind us getting in touch. We were reading the Bruce Springsteen thread and saw your post.

We're working on a new project for Irish fans and fans who have seen Bruce in Ireland. It's going to be turned into a book.

We've already had loads of support from Point Blank, members of the Greasy Lake community and the Irish media. See Point Blank news, June 11: http://www.pointblankmag.com/news/

If you'd like to take part please let us know at:: springsteeninireland@googlemail.com

The book will track all the connections between E Street and Ireland, and will also include as many fans stories as possible: meetings with Bruce; stories about hanging around the Merrion; experiences of getting to/enjoying concerts and thoughts on why Bruce is just so big in Ireland.

Please help if you can.

Thanks in advance!
Greg & Moira

PS Apologies if you've already contacted us or if you are a friend off other Springsteen message-boards. We've had a big response and are almost losing track.

Hiya
Trying to contact everyone we can. The moderator PM was to me about something else, unrelated to the appeal for stories.

I'm sorry but I'm confused. We have been working with so many message-boards and this is the first time we have had any problems.
The first message we had (above) was simply from the moderator asking us not to mention a company apparently related to some Springsteen gigs. It's a company I have never heard of and of course we wouldn't have mentioned if we had, following the moderators request.

Springsteen fans have been fantastic so far with this project. We have contacted people to see if they want to be involved. We've already had a friendly - why not? - response from this board.
I'm shocked that this message is being treated like this, and would only ask people we have contacted that if they are upset by being contacted please delete the message and do not reply.
