Still love the one in Belfast in Dec ’99, Fran had his guitar nicked the night before in Glasgow and was found in a Pawn shop and swiftly sent over for the gig.

Anyone remember the gig in Dublin Castle, the Heiniken music festival I think it was…year 2001ish?

Aye, Gig on the Green ? Turin Brakes as support?

I dont remember the support act but I do remember all the art work when walkimg up towards the stage area. Was a nice crowd at it too. No pictures sadly! I think the pints were 4 quid 😭

Belfast. Ulster Hall. 2003. The day 12 Memories came out. Snow Patrol supporting, before they went astronomical. Dougie fell over during The Line Is Fine. Class night!

Fran in his white suit. Sheesh.

I was at the Dublin show in 1997 where Travis where supporting Oasis. Liam was sick and the crowd booed when Fran wished him well. Fran gave out to the crowd and told them Liam was amazing.Travis more than made up for Liam not being there they were absolutely amazing.

I saw them again last summer at Forest Fest, nearly 30 years later. This time I had to bring my baby along (older mum 🤣). Fran even waved to her. What a lovely full-circle moment.
