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:
OK, this is a bit of a strange one... So, I went along to Clontarf to see Aleigh perform. They were the support act on the night for Irish music legends, Bagatelle. Now... Well the photos of Aleigh turned out fine, but the ones of Bagatelle, well they were an unmitigated disaster! Oh well...
Right, on to the gig. It was a cut down Aleigh tonight, only 2 members of the band playing an acoustic set. As always though, great gig and the crowd seemed to love every minute of it!
They have a great rule in place at Contarf Lawn Tennis Club, when the band is playing, they shut the bar. This cuts down on a lot of background noise and makes for a very attentive crowd.

Seemingly they've had Christy Dignam, Jerry Fish, Mundy and others all play in the club. It's a nice place and its mostly members who attend. So it's always a full house!
Anyway, that's it. No photos of Bagatelle unfortunately... I'll try harder next time.
