Dublin: “They make you sing outside.“

[Hartmut]

“When I come to this great city [Dublin], I am permitted to drink inside. Very rarely am I asked to leave a pub. Likewise, I'm permitted to sleep inside. Sadly and unfortunately, my horizontal slumbers are rarely disturbed. – But when it comes to singing, they make you sing outside.“

I always remember this bit of stage banter when I think of Dublin and the cold there.

You're welcome, Robert. - Thanks for replying.

Great memories, thanks.
None of us at IMMA or at any of Leonard's outdoor concerts cared what the weather was like!

[Hartmut]

On one hand, I know what you mean. On the other, I cared quite a lot!
