It was a great night. Superb setting and a top performance from the boys.

Epic fail on my part. I went to bed just before 12. Some forum members stayed out, met the band and got themselves into the Malmaison hotel where they had a few beers and played pool with elbow until the early hours.

It was a fantastic day alround nice to have met you Steve and Tanny. Plus a big thank you to Messers Jupp and Potter (M) and Lisa and all the crew we had a great evening.

Great to meet you 2 Steve - the gig was great again - faultless performance and a good crowd.

Yeah, my 2 mates 'had the time of their lives' in the Malmaison, where as I overdid things on the liquid's, and had a major financial tantrum, and got a cab back from outside the Malmaison.

What a fool I am. The stick I received yesterday was plentiful !

Sounds like an excellent night all round folks and Jones what a lucky lady!

Thanks Hesh!
And Lynne: yes that whole evening is one happy, rosey blur!

Fantastic Joanie!! And what luck with the rest of you getting to play pool with the lads until the early hours. Very Happy

Joanie, that is amazing!!

Really loved this gig - went with my dad and we both had a fantasic time. Solid performance, brilliant atmosphere. BMI Baby cancelling our flight home was perhaps less brilliant, but bumping into Guy into the airport and getting a friendly hello made us feel much better!

Here's the one video I managed to take - Grounds For Divorce (with added banter!)

Bumping into Guy. Very Happy

Rest of the band/crew not with him?

Great vid, Queen Ali! Thanks for posting!
Desperately trying to find the bit when the band go over to 'Craig's Place' for Weather To Fly.
There's one video on YouTube but it doesn't show the Happy Birthday bit... Sad

Anyway, I believe the band were on and off their plane as well due to technical difficulties! (The plane, not the band...) Suspect

Something obviously didn't agree with aeroplanes in Belfast that day!
It was a great gig, wasn't it? And I sure did have the time of my life!!! I love you

btw does anyone have video of the guys coming on stage at the start by any chance???

Nice way to finish up the summer.
Won't be seeing them again for a while Sad

- now it's the U.S.-Elbowies' turn!
