Well, Ted, as I said last time, it won't happen again.

Got event reminder from Ticketmaster Customer Service.
Sorry, what the meaning of this red note??
Please Note
Customers are advised to double-check the date on their ticket before travelling to the concert.
Again thank you all. Time to pack, starting tomorrow!

Die Züge deiner, die dem Blut verschworen,
der Menschheit altem, allgemeinen Blut,
die sah ich wohl und gab mich doch verloren,
schlummerbedeckt und schweigend deiner Flut.

Re: What is Kilmainham Jail like as a concert venue?
Well, firstly you have to go to the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham, not the former jail.
I was there in 2008 and it was a magical night, with fantastic sound, a beautiful setting and, of cource, LC thrilling and enchanting all present.
Yes, there was some people walking around but I did not find it disruptive due to the way the venue was laid out. (It is outdoor, so people walking around are nothing like as annoying as it would be in somewhere like the 02).

Re: What is Kilmainham Jail like as a concert venue?
sorry I meant the hospital at IMMA how embarassing!! would make for a great gig if he was in the jail though imagine the acoustics! So its a great sound then at the IMMA? ok ill take your word for it, maybe it just looked worse on the youtube video with the people wandering about. Hope my seats are good think im in A7 in fromt of the tiered seats
Re: DUBLIN 2012
What views do people have on bringing cameras into the concerts. My tickets for Wed night are't great but I'm pretty close on Friday and Saturday night. What's other people doing?

I'm not there and partly because of that i hope plenty of people take cameras and camcorders in and use them !sandraa wrote:What views do people have on bringing cameras into the concerts.

i discretely shot over 2 hours of footage in ghent on the first night and wasn't told off.
Dublin concerts are special and need capturing for posterity
Leonard's work resonates

Re: DUBLIN 2012
This is amazing.
Me&boyfriend had tickets for Leonard's concert in Berlin this year, but due to a horrible mix-up we couldn't go.
Now as I live next to Heuston Station/Dublin.. I listen to Leonard for free in my flat.. and will over next few days.

Re: DUBLIN 2012
Last night, no problems with cameras. Wrap up well incl warm hat - its a bit exposed up there.sandraa wrote:What views do people have on bringing cameras into the concerts. My tickets for Wed night are't great but I'm pretty close on Friday and Saturday night. What's other people doing?
Must've been very cold on Stage - although Mr C ran around, like a newborn Spring lamb!
Suggest you get there early if you need food - there seemed to be queues
for everything, except the icecream van...... some of the Ladies resorted to using the Gents' - much quicker....initially!
The coffee vans were better as the mobile dispensers always seemed to be running out of water.
Bring a hip flask or even a wee rucksac with a flask of your favourite tipple!
Enjoy!
Well, Ted, as I said last time, it won't happen again.
Re: DUBLIN 2012
Thanks very much for the feedback. Ladies toilets are always an issue and i remember the ladies using the gents in Sligo until a very assertive steward was posted to watch for such crimes.Did anyone notice if the screen printed posters were on sale ?
Re: DUBLIN 2012
yes. the screen printed posters were on sale. 20 euro a shot! We were at the concert on wednesday there was a lot of merchandise on sale. T. shirts around 35 euro. They dont take credit cards or laser only cash! Make sure you have cash as there are no ATMs! thats if you want to buy stuff.
Agree with food - dont rely on getting your supper there. took ages to get a hot coffee. Fish and chips took around 40 mns. we ate before at the Italian quarter near the luas in dublin. Really nice. Yes it gets cold by 8 o'clock even if the sun has been out up until 6pm. Warm hat and gloves a cert. I managed to go to the toilet 5 mns before break and it was a little easier. Even though you miss 5 mns of 'seeing lennie' you can hear the music all the time - worth it as the wait at break can be 20mns.
other than that - it was amazing to see him again.

Re: DUBLIN 2012
Does the fact that it's freezing mean less of an issue with midges?
London o2 July 2008 and Nov 2008, NYC (Radio City Music Hall) May 2009, Weybridge July 2009, Lille Sept 2010, Las Vegas Dec 2010, Wembley 8 and 9 Sept 2012, Dublin Sept 2012, Paris Sept 2012, London 02 June 2013, Leeds Sept 2013, London o2 Sept 2013 ... and hopefully more to come.
Re: DUBLIN 2012
Midges?, not a hope. We've fast forwarded into Winter.
