Out out tonight..gig nite

No he’s doing his own tour.

 

Last nights gig was..... Fleetwood Mac in Dublin! Very good but I’m still ranting as Irish ferries cancelled the morning ferry we were booked on so we got the later one that got in at 5.30. 2 hours later in a cab we got to the gig but had missed The Pretenders who Shane Macgowan sang a couple of numbers with

Also they had changed start times so Pretenders came on at 6 to about hardly anyone and Fleetwood Mac had just come on when we finally got a drink from the one bar

 

That sounded like a great gig *****ed up

I was fuming as the cabbie said they tend to cancel the fast cat if it’s not full so if we had booked on to another slower ferry we would have got there lunchtime, not the one they knocked us on to. Lesson learned

 

Sounds similar to when I flew over for my grandads funeral and they cancelled a flight out of the blue.

You would think that the operators would know that some ferries would be light on passengers and calculate into their plans.

It was v good, tho I’m still v narked about missing The Pretenders . I’ve seen them on YouTube and it looks as if Shane Macgowan was in a scooter for his duet with Chrissie Hynde, but the Fleetwood MAC folk were pretty agile still . I’ve decided that Christine Mcvie is my fave followed by Mick Fleetwood.

I think we paid about £100 and were v near the stage. Some folk in our bit paid lots more so we must have been lucky to get them before the ticket companies banged up the prices.

 

First day back at work and my brother messages me to remind me that we have a gig tonight
Ozric Tentacles. Support is from a duo who only dogs can hear her vocals because they are that high pitched Silas & Saski.
The main thing is, a very kind barman got me a tall stool to sit on

 

Ozrics are Jean Michel Jarre meets Stevie Vai and the Chemical Brothers
