I've been waiting a long time to see Fontaines DC live again after last seeing them back in May 2019 at Forbidden Fruit. Originally scheduled for July 2020, everyone's friend, COVID, got in the way and mae sure that didn't happen. To make maters worse, the rescheduled date in 2021 didn't happen either, for the exact same reason! Fear not though, it is 2022 and not even COVID was going to stop this gig happening! I packed my bag and headed off to the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin, for what promised to be one of the highlights of the year! So, was it worth waiting for? Oh hell yeah! Others in the media will tell you more about it, but all you need to know is that it was a hit filled, fantastic gig by a band at the top of their game. Oh and the rain stayed away! Setlist (courtesy of Setlist.FM ) is as follows: In ár gCroíthe go deo A Lucid Dream Sha Sha Sha Roman Holiday How Cold Love Is I Don't Belong You Said The Couple Across the Way Televised Mind Big Shot Hurri
Last weekend was busy... 3 gigs, 2 nights, 5 acts and a few DJs thrown in for good luck!
The first gig of the weekend was Ultan Conlon in McAuley Place in Naas.
I've seen Ultan perform before and it was a great show. Tonights affair was a much more intimate acoustic gig, but none the less, was fantastic. I was trying to think who he reminded me of and mid gig, it came to me, Roy Orbison.
Anyway, I'd suggest you check him out live and sure give him a listen to on Spotify.
Support on the night was from Fia Rua. I'd heard of Fia Rua before, but this was the first time I'd got to see him perform. An excellent set and I'd like to see more of him!
