I'm not the biggest country music fan going. Don't bet me wrong, I don't hate it, but my country collection is limited to Cash, Kristofferson, Campbell, Nelson and a few others, all household names.
However, I do like live music, so when I heard that a young guy from Kentucky, Tyler Booth, was going to be in Naas for an intimate meet and greet with fans and was going to play a few songs too, I put on my boots, grabbed my Stetson and headed to the saloon!
I wandered down to the Piano Bar in Lawlor's of Naas, and was instantly hit by a wave of flashbacks... Many good nights were had in that bar and it's great to see it being used again.
There was a nice sized crowd there, big enough to give it a good vibe, small enough that everyone got to spend some time with Tyler, getting photos, autographs and so on. After thar, and a couple of pints, to lubricate his vocal chords, Tyler treated the crowd to a few songs, including local favourites Wagon Wheel and Galway Girl.
Post songs, it was time for a few more drinks before we all made our way off into the night, some went clubbing, some went home to bed. Me? I went clubbing, but honestly, I was home early!!!
Anyway, time for a few photos.
