2024-02-09 Singles Stoneybanter - Kavanaghs, Stoneybatter

I hadn't seen the Wild Geeze perform since the Peacock Parlour back in July '22, so when I got a message from Leela Baron saying she was performing her Champagne Act at their next show, I thought to myself, I really should go see that...

Fast forward a week and I'm pulling up outside Kavanaghs in Stoneybatter.  The night got off to a great start, I got parking right outside the venue!

I met up with Leela and then with Laura and Breda from the Wild Geeze.  I asked some questions (what can I shoot, what don't they want shot and so on...), did some test shots and then settled in and waited for the show to start.

The crowd started to grow, each selecting a Green, Yellow or Red sticker to indicate whether the wearer was single, unsure or in a relationship.  Me?  I was wearing black, just like the colour of my broken heart, but that's a story for another day.

And then the show kicked off and the crowd were treated to a wonderful night of cabaret.  As the locals sat downstairs in the bar, supping their pints and watching the rugby, upstairs, there was a distinct lack of clothing, lots of comedy, music and a champagne show.  Now, I love my rugby, but wild horses couldn't have pulled me away from the cabaret!

Right, before we head to the photos, just a quick word about Stoneybanter.  First and foremost, it is a fantastic cabaret show.  Secondly, and this is very important, Stoneybanter is a queer friendly night  So, if you are wondering if you will be accepted for who you are, wonder no more.

Okay, now for the photos!

Greatest goalkeeper never to play for Ireland at any level. A failed rock star. Now I take pretty pictures of Rock n' Roll, Burlesque and Political Activism.
