    Oasis in Hong Kong - 97 roughly... not the best concert but better than knebworth.
    U2 earls court
    Bros - Wembley STADIUM!! roughly 89 i think... for pure comedy
    Saw Doctors - london somehwere... hilarious.

    Sawdoctors are brilliant, aren't they, Curb_It?

    Seen them in Belfast and Glasgow, and next up Campbeltown in aid of our local village hall near the Mull of Kintyre... Would love to see them 'at home' in Galway some day!

    yes. not see them for years but went through a spate of seeing them back in the late 80s all over London. Must have seen them about 6 times i reckon absolutely loved getting up the front and jumping around... i had the energy to back then.

    crikey! how old do I feel now!!!
    Hothouse Flowers are great in my eyes. Saw them in Dublin a few years back, right up the front & it was Liam (the lead singers) birthday, it felt like we were at his family party it was so intimate, cracking band..............'I like a drink that takes sometime to settle............it's worth the wait & it tastes like a dream!'

    Saw Doctors are the mutts nuts! Seen them loads of times, they supported Genesis at Knebworth one year too, a change to the advertised support & an absolutely great surprise..................' I wish I was on that N17...............' marvellous.
