Notice the difference in the genere and i like all of the above to .....:)

Yes ,the Police played in the grounds of Leixlip about 20 odd years ago and i remember the gig for 2 reasons .It as a nice sunny day but also blowing a bit of wind so as a live gig ,the sound was all over the place ,and secondly some low life skinhead threw a bottle up on the stage which hit Sting who was not in the least pleased .He gave the guy a piece of his mind to ...not the greatest of police gigs :cool:

just on a side note > the police lived in ireland for a while back in the 80s for tax reasons, seemingly they couldn't wait to leave because of all the anti-brit hassle they were getting.

Touche! That was for the Crush tour in 2000, was at that gig

U2 (Slane 2001)
The Police (Croke Park 2007)
Metallica (RDS 2004)
Simple Minds (Point 1995)
Def Leppard (Point 1996)
The Stooges (Slane 2004)
Sugar (Dalymount Park 1993)
Faith No More (Dalymount Park 1993)
Therapy? (SFX 1993)
Kerbdog (SFX 1993)
Marillion (Vicar St 2004)
The Mission (Manchester Academy 2007)
Foo Fighters (SFX 1995)

VR!
