Here's a review - not sure which gig it's from but figured I'd put it here as it is one of the Irish ones.........

Just got back from Belfast myself - live in Oxford, and I have to agree that it was a fantastic show; and at 49y.o. I've seen a few. Saw Richard and the band in Oxford a few weeks back, which was good, but this one blew it away for atmosphere. Just shear luck that I was in Belfast at the weekend as i was on a piss-up trip with a load of mates/wives/girlfriends etc. - If anyone's into that sort of thing try Belfast; absolutely a top place for a drink. Funny thing was I've been stuck with the name of The Richard Hawley Stalker for the past few days. After the gig I went back on the ale until the early hours, finishing up in our hotel bar, where just as I was about to bugger off to bed I saw Richard in the lobby. "I'll go and have a chat" I thought. Just one look at Richard and I thought "bloody 'ell, he doesn't look in the mood for talking to some gibberish speaking piss head" - the dodgy guts now explain everything Richard. In actual fact I missed saying hello to Richard a second time as I saw him walking down the road on Sunday but this time I was sober so I actually chickened out of stopping him for a quick chat. Of course first thing I did was tell everyone that I'd seen Richard again - hence the Stalker nickname. Anyway, thanks Richard and band - and Belfast, for such a great time.

p.s. Richard, I know that they say the old jokes are the best but you'll have to come up with some new ones for the Albert Hall - I've heard the balcony one twice now. :*:

Vegetable was my favorite on Saturday.

Richard,

Thanks for another top gig... good to say how do (again) to Palf too, VV and the V's were ace, and the Guinness was pretty great too!!!

just thought i'd add to the chorus of approval like...

i was on holiday seeing some family who live near Belfast... 8 of us ended up going to the gig (we weren't the plants don't worry :wink: )

Andy

Well here's another take on a balcony joke:

a guy is lying sprawled over three seats in the stalls.
Usherete: sir, what are you doing?
Guy: aargghh, aargghh!
Usherette: c'mon sir, you cann't stay there you need to move!
Guy: aargghh, aargghh!
Usherette: sorry sir, I cann't understand you, where are you from?
Guy: aarghh, the balcony!


might loan this out to Richard!

Some photos I took on my phone at the gig. Apologies for the poor quality, I was a bit pissed.
