2019-09-24 Christina Aguilera - Zappos Theater Las Vegas

Christina Aguilera...  I know, you're probably thinking "What is MJ doing at a Christina Aguilera gig?".

Well the truth is, I'm in Vegas, she's in Vegas and, well I got a ticket for cheap, so why the hell not!

Off I headed to Zappos Theater, knowing no one and unsure of what to expect. Obviously I know all her big hits, anyone who listens to the radio does, but I wouldn't class myself as a fan.  I was, as I've said elsewhere, out of my comfort zone at this gig!

I needn't have worried though.  She came onstage a little after 9:00 PM and played for 2 hours. OK, she wasn't on stage for the full 2 hours as there were a few short breaks for costume changes, but that's only me being picky. All the hits were played and, yeah, I may have sang along to some of them.  There were a few songs I didn't know, but the crowd did and they belted them out with her.  Mind you, she didn't need the help, her voice is just stunning, as powerful as it ever was and still able to hit those notes.

Setlist:
  1. I Feel Love
  2. Your Body
  3. Bionic
  4. Genie in a Bottle
  5. Reflection
  6. Dirrty
  7. Vanity
  8. Express
  9. Lady Marmalade
  10. Fall in Line
  11. Can't Hold Us Down
  12. Sick of Sittin'
  13. Maria
  14. Twice
  15. What a Girl Wants
  16. Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)
  17. Ain't No Other Man
  18. You Are What You Are (Beautiful)
  19. Say Something
  20. Glam
  21. Candyman
  22. Woohoo
  23. Telepathy
  24. Accelerate
  25. Feel This Moment
  26. Beautiful
  27. Fighter
  28. Let There Be Love
So that was it, that was my first Christina Aguilera gig.  Will there be another?  Who knows?  I never thought for a moment that I'd ever be at one of her shows, let alone enjoy it, so...

2022-03-26 Buskers on Grafton Street, Dublin

I took a walk around Dublin today,  thought I'd check out the buskers on Grafton Street.   There's a fine history of busking in Dublin, acts like  Hothouse Flowers ,  The Frames ,  Rodrigo y Gabriela ,  Damien Rice ,  Paddy Casey ,  Kodaline  and a host of others all cut their teeth on and around Grafton Street.  It stands to reason that some of those busking today will be successful in the future! So, who did I get to see today?  Well, check out the photos below: Zoe Clarke Allie Sherlock Paul Jenkinson

Interview with King Kong Company

Originally published 10/09/2013 on Chunk.ie So, there I was, wandering around the Electric Picnic wondering who I was going to watch next. One of the lads said he had heard good things about King Kong Company and that we should check them out, so off we headed to the Body and Soul Arena to do just that.  As I mentioned in my review of the Electric Picnic, the gig was epic.  I figured we just had to interview them here on CHUNK.ie, and here it is! First things first, congratulations on a storming gig at the Electric Picnic. It completely blew me away.  Was this your first Picnic experience? We’ve been to many Electric Picnics over the years but just as punters, and it’s always been a great festival, so it was a fantastic experience to play at its 10 year anniversary. King Kong Company is a rather interesting name for a band, where or how did you come up with it? The name is taken from the film Taxi Driver. If you look closely, Travis Bickle is wearing a badge which says King

2023-08-26 The Playing Fields Festival - Clane GAA

It's The Playing Fields Festival time again!  TPFF23, it's third outing, is back and it's the same, but a little different also. For the first time, it's not just an Irish affair.  The legendary Basement Jaxx headlined the Sunday night.  Also, for the first time, it's under canvas.  Not a big circus type tent, a more low rise, stretched canvas affair, as per TribFest a few weeks back.  Given the state of the Irish summer, it was a great decision.  The final difference was that I was only there for Day Two as I'd already arranged to bring my niece to see The Vamps , and that clashed with Day One. So, along with Basement Jaxx , who else was playing Day Two of TPFF? Well, we had:     The Flavours      Altered Lines      Diversion      Raging Sons      Spring Break      Roisin O      and      CamrinWatsin I think we can agree, that's a pretty good mix of rock n' roll, party time and dance music!  Even under canvas, the stage was pretty big and sounded good
