After a really warm welcome from Aly, we were introduced to Steve the new manager. Cracking bloke!! As usual, we started with a nice chill out with a drink and a great dinner - food's now even better than before!
So, 10pm almost on the nail and we were ready to rock. Set up in a new position Steve wanted to try, we launched off with Another Brick - watched by Sammi & Joe who we were pleased to see! From Brick, it was straight into AC/DC's Thunderstruck - during which Joe slowly dropped his jeans and started playing along, strumming his naked penis!! Strange... As I pointed out to the audience who couldn't see - not very impressive, in fact, like a maggot lost in a bird's nest!
That excitement over, we settled down to deliver a scorching first set of rocky material, crowd pleasers and something for everyone. With the new location, although we were a bit out of eye line with the crowd we could sense a great reaction. The band was cooking and playing tight with enough adrenelin to perform our socks off but without tipping the balance into manic.
Into the second set and the video camera started rolling - yes, The shine has some new video footage! We were joined in this set by a group of gorgeous and really enthusiastic girls who, despite not getting their request of "Fisherman's Blues" or "Galway Girl" danced for us, smiled for us and gave us an amazing reaction. Sorry girls, I didn't catch your names but thanks a million!
As 1am came around we finished bang on the nail, quick strip down and reload of the van and it was time to relax with a few drinks and a chat - well, until about 4am.... :-)
All in all, another fabulous night. Huge thanks go particularly to Steve and Aly - you guys are amazing! Also, big up to Danni who came along to see us, to Sammi who dropped by with Joe and his over obvious prick and to all the amazing people of Kyleakin! We love you all!
Until next time, we'll see you on 26th May...
Peace and best of luv!
Neil
