We've heard from a number of Galwayans that tonight's Sharon Shannon concert was the biggest concert of the whole race weekend. Everyone, young and old, were excited that she was playing the free concert, and most were planning to attend.
While walking the Saturday market today, Bill and I purchased some Green Dragon t-shirts (Ireland's racing yacht is called the Green Dragon). The young man who sold us the shirts chatted us up a bit and said he was also going to the show, and that "Tonight's gonna be mental!"
So Bill & I got there about an hour early and watched the tail end of the opening act (which was really good, traditional stuff). We were pretty darned close to the action, and there were thousands who were there to see the show. We got a few short videos of the action, but they're too big to add at this time (We're currently at an Internet Cafe on Inis Mor). So, here's a photo of the concert. I'll try to post the short video once I get home.
It was pretty darned crowded, so we made it to "Unstable" but left before the night went all the way to "crazytown"!
