Does John Mayer have many Irish Fans?

Only people I know that like him are me and the people I introduced his music too. I love to see him get some play on the radios here too.

Also, has he ever played here before or is there any sign of him doing so...

My younger sister introduced me to his music. A lot of her friends of the 16-18 year old bracket really like him too. He is brilliant!

mark182 · 02-11-2009 7:50pm

I noticed that everyone i've introduced him to have all loved his music.

PS* Springsteen Fan..... now he's a legend

He's a great blues guitarist when doing that kind of stuff. Other than that though, he's very meh.

copacetic · 02-11-2009 7:58pm

always felt he was a bit meh, but I really liked the grammys bit with legend and bailey rae

Only rivaled by Sir Elton IMO. Nobody on the planet like them!

Yep, he played in Vicar Street a few years back, maybe 2005 or 2006? It was a really good gig. He also played in Whelan's a couple of years before that. He's playing a few gigs in the UK in January I think, hopefully when he does a bigger European tour he'll include Ireland.

I've been into his music since 2006. Love his stuff. I can count the people I know who like him on one hand, he's still relatively unknown here. I flew to Birmingham to see him last year, and have already gotten my ticket for his January UK tour.

Bonkers_xOx · 03-11-2009 8:55pm

Can't remember how I discovered him... but I love his music.

im really hoping to go see him in the UK, but i have to buy tickets on eBay most likely

Adiboo · 04-11-2009 8:30pm

Ticketmaster.co.uk still has tickets I think.

I saw him last night in the Metro theatre in Sydney, it was AMAZING. Small enough venue, a bit like Vicar Street. He played about 5 or 6 songs from the new album, can't wait till it comes out, it's sounding good.

powerzjim · 09-11-2009 9:02am

i like his more bluesey stuff, his new song is okish

angel01 · 09-11-2009 9:30am

I really like him, have been a fan of him a long time.

One Cold Hand · 10-11-2009 10:59am

He's pretty average in my opinion. I saw him in Vicar Street about 4/5 years ago and he was pretty average there also.

the10_six5ive · 18-11-2009 3:21pm

He does indeed. I first hear some of his music yesterday.
I was like "deadly". I just stumbled across him on youtube yesterday.
What an epic song !

Pulse8 · 18-01-2010 5:07pm

Just back from the Manchester gig he did last Friday....awesome show, hes announcing dates bit by bit for a bigger european tour in May/June....Wembley Arena went on presale this morning, password is HEARTBREAK for anyone who wants tickets

Hopefully he does an irish date too

Blackhorse Slim · 18-01-2010 5:17pm

I had heard some of his music but wasn't a fan, until I saw him on the dvd of the Crossroads festival 2005. I was impressed by his guitar playing rather than his songs/singin. His songwriting/lyrics can be annoying sometimes, but he's a hell of a guitar player.

I liked the Try! album, and Continuum is pretty good too. Where The Light Is is awesome in places, and a bit meh in others imo. The new album was a bit of a disappointment, as in I thought this would be the one that would finally win me over as a fan, and it didn't. Still some great tracks on it.

If he was playing in Ireland, I would be interested in going to see him live.

Just back from the Glasgow show on Saturday myself. Fantastic stuff as usual.

Pulse8 · 18-01-2010 5:48pm

Should have some videos from the Manchester gig up later
I love the way he varies his setlist from gig to gig....a few differences in the Manchester/Glasgow gigs, am so glad I got to see him do his version of Free Falling

The 5 track acoustic set from the start of "Where The Light Is" is ridiculously good, kinda gutted I didnt make plans to go to London too given how rare it is to see him over this side of the Atlantic

Adiboo · 18-01-2010 6:14pm

Glasgow was my second time seeing him. Saw him in Birmingham back in 2008. Thinking I might go to the London show in May too.

Have some photos up on my Facebook too, some pretty good shots from front row: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=376602&id=599775190&l=974561b4be

eviltimeban · 19-01-2010 9:12pm

I'd go see him live too, purely from a guitarist point of view to pick up some tips! Although some of his stuff is good, Continuum is a good all round album, Try is great and the new one has some good songs too. Earlier stuff is very meh indeed, save for a few songs on Heavier Things. I like his humour though, he's got some funny things up on YouTube.

Got presale tickets for London on Monday. Couldn't log on until 10.02 so I got Row 23 in the centre block ... could be worse I guess :rolleyes:

Pulse8 · 27-01-2010 10:07am

Just got some presale for Manchester, Row J which I guess is the 10th row in Block A - not too shabby

mark182 · 23-02-2010 9:14pm

I finally got my wish, he's playing oxegen, would prefere a single venue though

Adiboo · 23-02-2010 11:16pm

Here's hoping that if he gets a good enough reception at Oxegen, he might add an Olympia or Academy show.

Thwip! · 24-02-2010 5:42pm

niaomh · 06-05-2010 5:18pm
