Aidan Little from Castleblaney kickstarted the morning with a great little tune this morning - The Coral's 'Dreaming Of You'. Charlie mentioned that The Coral were the first band he went to see and we got chatting. Ian's first gig was Purple Haze, Mairead's was Take That at the Point Depot in 1993 and Shauna's was Boyzone at The Vortex Nightclub (!) in 1993.
What was your first gig? @IanDempsey's was Purple Haze, @cocomairead's was Take That, Charlie's was The Coral & @grandantor's was Boyzone.
