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:
My first gig of 2020 and it was a good one! I'd not seen Sara Ryan play in a year or two, so when she announced she was going to be playing in Kilcullen, I bought a ticket straight away.
I'm not quite sure how to describe Sara's sound... It's not folk, it's not jazz, it's not blues, but if you take a healthy dash of each and give it a good mix, you'll come close!
Sara's touring in support of her newly released album called 'Breath' and it's a cracker. Check it out! As for the gig, it was fantastic. Sara was backed by a full band and sounded incredible. If you get the chance to see her, head along, you'll not be disappointed.
Support on the night was from Cork musician Emmo. I'd not heard of him before, but he sounded good and, given the chance, I'd head along to see him again.
Lighting was a tad low on the night, though you probably wouldn't think it from the first photo, so it made conditions just a little difficult!
