Well, you never quite know about these things, do you? But it was good to see my long-lost only son after all these years. And I suppose that makes me Grandfather McGreer.
That's funny, because in the Market Porter earlier on the night, Fr McGreer said
I was his dad. I think he saw parallels with my grumpy, stubborn, intolerant streak!
Thanks for the photos firehazard, particularly liked the avalanche on Terry.
The thing that was different about this gig was, to be frank, the much higher ratio of tossers in the audience. Loads of people holding what were to them very important conversations whilst the band were playing, the previously mentioned "he's soooooo drunk, he's staggering off" stuff and a very large number of people smoking in the crowd and not understanding why that was not OK. Pitiful really.
None of that took the edge off a great night. The band were fabulous, the odd remix was beautifully managed. Repeal, Body and Ned were the highlights for me. Old Barney was a great notch on my Medusans what I have met list! Nice to see Fr McGreer, Carmen and lots of others too. And now it's Xmas!
