Really looking forward to this gig tonight ! First concert in Ireland ! The last album No Better Than This is a bit hit and miss but Life Death Love And Freedom is fantastic ! Hope he has a full band and rips it up !

IrishHomer

I cant wait also i have all his albums been a big fan since mid 80's

What's parking like around the Grand Canal Theatre? I haven't been there for a gig before, so I haven't got a favoured spot the way I do for other venues.

You mean that story about someone requesting Cherry Bomb wasn't true?!

Great performance, wonderful gig.
