I was in Dublin city centre this morning for the first time in 12 months. The last time I was there was to see Jane Willow perform in the Cobblestone Pub on February 29th 2020. I never, not for a moment, thought things would turn out as they did. I was looking forward to a year full of gigs and excitement. I think we all know how that turned out. After doing what I had to workwise, I took a spin around Dublin before I headed home. I drove by the aforementioned Cobblestone Pub , the Voodoo Lounge , The Grand Social , The Workmans Club , The Sugar Club and ended up outside Whelans . I've had great nights out in each of those venues and in many more around the country! Dolans of Limerick, Crane Lane Theatre and Kino in Cork, Odd Mollies in Drogheda, the Moat Theatre in Naas, the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge, the Solstice Arts Centre in Navan, Visual in Carlow... The list goes on and on. 2017 and Helmet played Whelans. There I am partying with them after the s
It was the weekend, so I obviously headed out to catch a gig.
This weekend, Mark Geary was playing the Workman's Club in Dublin, so off I went.
I've seen Mark play on many occasions, but I'd never seen him with a full band before, so tonight was a first.
It was a good gig, crowd were in to it and sang along at every opportunity. The Workmans Club is a great venue also, but, and this is just a pet peeve of mine, red spotlights suck when you’re trying to take photos!
Anyway, if you get the chance, go see Mark. He puts on a good show and has some great songs.
