I'm more than a few days late getting this post up! But anyway, here we are, The Vamps , live in Dublin! This gig was not my idea and, to be honest, I didn't know what to expect. My niece messaged me and asked if I'd go to see New Hope Club and The Vamps (her two favourite bands) when they play Dublin. I, obviously, said yes and she went and booked flights! So anyway, here we are, it's late summer in Dublin, the skies are grey and the threat of rain is never far away. As we sat having a pre gig bite to eat in Smithfield, the heavens opened and the thunder clapped. This was not looking good, but YR.no assured me that the rain would stop before 7:00pm, and it did. So anyway, on to the gig. It's safe to say that New Hope Club and The Vamps fans are generally young ladies in their late teens to early twenties, and they are loud! Screams rang around the courtyard of Collins Barracks all night long, I was glad to have my earplugs with me! Local band, ModernLove
