2024-10-11 King Kong Company - Dolans, Limerick

I was due to see King Kong Company perform in Naas recently, but unfortunately, that festival got cancelled.  So, when I was asked if I'd like to go see them in Dolans , Limerick, I obviously said yes! I hopped in the car after work last Friday and hit the road.  A few stops alongt he way, and I was there by 19:30, in plenty of time to make the show. I've seen King Kong Company plenty of times now to know what to expect.  I was curious to see how Bobby Fingers would perform though, what with him have a dodgy leg.  I needn't have worried though.  He bounced around the stage on one leg, waving a cane in the air like a mad man! Support on the night was from local hip-hop artist, Citrus Fresh , a new name to me, but I really enjoyed his set.   Anyway, on to the photos:

I'd heard lots about Crow Black Chicken , but I'd never managed to catch them live.  Likewise, I'd heard a lot about the Howth Roots and Blues Festival , but had never been.  So, when I got offered the chance to head along, I took it. So, how was it?  Well, Crow Black Chicken rock, they really, really rock.  Do you need to know anymore?  Nope?  I didn't think so.  Go catch them live. Now for photos:

2024-08-02 Tribfest - North Kildare Sports Club, Kilcock

No one, and I mean no one, goes to TribFest to be cool.  After all, it's hard to look cool dancing to the music of Joe Dolan, ABBA, Tom Jones, Cher or Queen, well, maybe Queen, but... No, people go to TribFest to party, to listen to great music and most of all, to have fun.  Fun, that's the most important part of a festival, and it was in abundance this year! The festival was a three day affair this time out and, for the first time, kicked off with a night dedicated to hard rock and metal, featuring IE/DC (AC/DC), Live Lizzy (Thin Lizzy), Whiplash (Metallica) , Guns Reloaded (Guns n' Roses), and Legendary (Bon Jovi).  Was it loud?  Yes, yes it was.  Did it rock?  Most certainly!  Were the leather clad crowd entertained?  Most definitely.  What a way to kick off TribFest! Live Lizzy Whiplash Legendary Guns Reloaded IE/DC Night two of TribFest was a much more relaxed affair with sets from Mairead Rooney (Shania Twain), The Classic Beatles (The Beatles), Will Power (Joe Dolan)
