Not content with being in Vicar Street on Thursday night, I returned 24 hours later to see the incredible Tolü Makay perform.
Tolü really came to public attention last year with her superb cover of the Saw Doctors track, N17. Since then, she's been a firm favourite on Irish TV screens and radio.
On to the gig... I'll just quote what I said on Twitter:
"I've been to a lot of gigs, but tonight's gig, Tolu Makay in Vicar Street, was simply incredible. From the first note I was hooked. I sat there, like a love struck teenager, in awe. What an absolutely amazing voice she has, simply amazing. I'm still smiling."
Support on the night was from Lucy McWilliams. She's got a nice, soft smoky voice and I really liked her set. I think we will see her on the festival scene when it returns!
So that is that. I think it was, without any doubts, one of the best gigs I've ever been at. There's nothing more to add.
On to the photos:
