First big one I can remember was U2 PopMart in Botanic Gardens around 1997. Must have been to something before that though  ???

What age are you hoors?! Did anyone see Buddy Holly?

They're all handy enough to work out, more or less, except for that bollo+cks Orior, when were the nolans and glitter about? Early 70´s? Makes him about 55 yrs old if right

Close, but no cigar.
Cover me in chocolate and feed me to the lesbians

FL/MAYO

U2 Leisureland Galway January 1982, only a few hundred at the concert.

Squeeze would have been bigger late 70s so I'd say year of birth is c.1960 making you 51/52.

AC/DC supported by Y&T, RDS Simmonscourt 22nd Oct 1982. Still one of my all time favourites too..

Mine too, I can still remember it, what an introduction to concerts. I had a studded wrist band and denim jacket will all the patches.

Still a concert virgin, but I always said I would go and see Justin Timberlake when he is next in Belfast.
