All joking aside my friend forgot her Macca ticket and would have been f*****d if I didn't say it to her in time to go back and get it. 5 minutes later we would have been on the bus!!!

I'm glad the "instructions" from Ticketmaster have been posted by Musicmania on the "other" thread.... I'd never have thought I needed to bring my tickets!

Hey Music Man... that wasn't meant to be a dig at you, just a gentle one at Ticketmaster for stating (as Basil Fawlty would say) "the bleedin' obvious"musicmania wrote:All joking aside my friend forgot her Macca ticket and would have been f*****d if I didn't say it to her in time to go back and get it. 5 minutes later we would have been on the bus!!!

Re: Leonard to play in Sligo!!
Let me guess, a certain point about picnic baskets and alcohol. You could always have your picnic and champagne on the beach before hand. Thats of course if they don't close the beach lolreal-alan wrote:Hey Music Man... that wasn't meant to be a dig at you, just a gentle one at Ticketmaster for stating (as Basil Fawlty would say) "the bleedin' obvious"musicmania wrote:All joking aside my friend forgot her Macca ticket and would have been f*****d if I didn't say it to her in time to go back and get it. 5 minutes later we would have been on the bus!!!

Re: Leonard to play in Sligo!!
Read somewhere that anything looking like "real photography equipment " can be at risk, while little compact cameras are ok. Seems to vary a bit from venue to venue.quackles wrote:Anyone know if you can bring SLR cameras to the concert? I got good seats and would really love to get some nice pics of the master, but don't want to risk bringing my baby if there's a chance he'll be confiscated

Yep, that's the plan now.... so if anyone's at Mullaghmore mid-afternoon, they may get offered a glass of something....musicmania wrote:You could always have your picnic and champagne on the beach before hand. Thats of course if they don't close the beach lol

Re: Leonard to play in Sligo!!
Friends, as Leonard would say, I'm signing off tonight, as I'm off early tomorrow for Dublin, and not bringing the computer, though I'll still get my Twitter Notes from the Tour on the mobile. Might meet some of you over the week-end, Sligo is not a very big place.
Happy birthday tomorrow real-alan, enjoy your picnic too, wherever! Let's hope there will be only ONE Sligo concert report thread after the event!!!
It's been fun so far, and the weekend promises to be even better! Enjoy.....

I'm bringing my laptop and internet with me but not sure if I'll have coverage. If I do I'll keep everyone updated. I need laptop to transfer photos each day as camera doesn't like big memory cards! I'm leaving for Sligo in 2 hours So excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TipperaryAnn wrote:Friends, as Leonard would say, I'm signing off tonight, as I'm off early tomorrow for Dublin, and not bringing the computer, though I'll still get my Twitter Notes from the Tour on the mobile.

Re: Leonard to play in Sligo!!
a wet & windy day in the North West, but sure, lets get it all out of the way before tomorrow, which will be wonderful.... let the Westlife Fans get rained on...
... a bit jealous of you all setting off from far-flung places - I don't leave home until tomorrow afternoon...

Looking forward to the concert tomorrow night, hope the rain stays clear and it is a nice bright evening with plenty of sunshine and even more great music.
Although if it does rain, it don't matter to me, because Cohen will shine through the rain and we will forget about the weather.
Hope everyone has a great time

Re: Leonard to play in Sligo!!
I can hardly see the road outside our house but leaving from a fog bound West Cork in half and hour with four new tyres on the car, so I will at least grip the road even if I cannot see it.happy birthday alan (real or imagined) where ever you may celebrate it. You could do some flash mobbing to gather a crowd.
