That's a bit harsh. You could tell they're a young act but they're clearly talented musicians. If they can improve their songwriting, I could see them having some minor success.

They also brought a lot of energy which warmed the crowd up.

Agreed.

Very young act and you could see they were overwhelmed to be opening for a band the size of Snow Patrol. I actually enjoyed them as a warm up act.

Plenty energy and had a nice crowd in early to see them.

Bought tickets off somebody. Does anybody know if they are enforcing the strict ID and ticket checks?

In the Opera House you were lucky if they even checked your ticket not to mind ID.

Would like to have seen them play in my hometown of Wexford but tickets were too expensive. I pay at the most €30 for live music in Wexford but nearly €70 for Snow Patrol was far too much.

It's for charity....
And they knew it would sell out in seconds so they might as well make the most for the chosen cause as they can
I'm so excited to get to see them in my hometown after travelling to Germany to see them twice and to the UK several times

I've been to see them 3 times, once in the old Point, once in The Odyssey and the reworked tour in the opera House in Belfast and was really looking forward to tomorrow night but can't make it mow due to a family funeral.

Is the best way to sell them on at cost price on Toutless? Mine are digital tickets so I'm just wary of anything that might mess me up on them.

Toutless is probably your best bet, yeah.

Cheers, put them up earlier, and got a response on it but struggling for signal where I am so hopefully it'll be grand.

..that was class.

"Make this go on forever" - my highlight.

New stuff is great. Brought me back to Oxegen '09. Good banter. He said his voice was going but the crowd carried every fecking song, even the "guitar bits" as he said himself.

People may not have liked the ticket prices but I fcking loved the night.

Excellent gig. Unfortunately I was in the upper circle which meant waiting for the international space station to pass to see he gig, but what a fantastic show. Olympia is such a great venue for being "close" to the band. Look forward to their o2 show in late November!

I was up there myself...Christ i didn't know you could go up so high in the Olympia...Great gig... Gary was great with the crowd and answering back to people like the "Mayor of Boston" :pac:

Already looking forward to what will more than likely be there next gig in dublin in the 3 arena.

Never checked our tickets just scanned tickets and searched bag.

Just home from tonight’s show in the opera house in Wexford and I have to say I thought it was a brilliant show. Gary was in fine voice and full of craic. I absolutely loved What if this is all the love you ever get and to hear make this go on forever took me back a few years! The only downside to the show was the idiot sitting beside me recording the whole show on their phone with the flash on.

JMD adds so much to that song, love it so much!
Ahhh did the camera police not get onto her?
We had staff shining torches at us anytime we even took our phones out

I said the exact same thing to my fiancé last night about JMD. I always enjoy a good snow patrol harmony! I was really unsure what to expect in the small venue but I have to say it worked. There was a really good mix of old and new and I look forward to seeing them when they hit the road later this year. Hopefully not on a school night the next time though!
