Roesy at the Halfmoon Theatre

April 3rd, 2006 Posted in Ireland, Live Music, Music, Photography

Roesy launched his latest album "Colour Me Beautiful" at the Halfmoon Theatre in Cork just over a week ago. I've seen Roesy play a few times now and as usual he and his band put on a great show. The event was largely seated with standing room at the back which is where we were as we got in a little late. This was a bit unfortunate as the excellent Ian Whitty and band played support which we missed completely . You just can never tell if the time on the ticket for doors is actully the time they start!

Roesy played all the usual tracks with quite a few from the new album which sound pretty cool but right at the end a lady upstairs wanted to hear a song, can't remember what it was now, but it has to have been the most polite request I've ever heard at a gig. "Emm, Roesy, would you mind … I mean would it be possible if you don't mind to at some stage play … " as opposed to the usual "PLAY [insert song name] YA LANGER".

Thanks Campus Radio for the tickets by the way
