Rain did not dampen the party in Semple’s Field in Thurles Co. Tipperary on Monday last as queues formed at the main entrances from 4:30pm, with Tipperary band Seskin Lane taking to the stage to begin the promised concert, which also featured Callini Lua, Acquiesce, Una Healy and The 2 Johnniesall topping the bill.
Things could only get better through the afternoon as Thurles native; professional singer/songwriter and TV star, the talented Ms Una Healy(Former member of the five-piece girl group The Saturdays) took to her guitar with, appropriately, Amy McDonald’s “This is the Life”, before ending with Guns N’ Roses ballad, “Sweet Child O’ Mine”.
Ms Una Healy.
Sadly two metal bars, crossing the front of the erected stage, prevented the gathered 45,000 spectators from gaining a clear vision of those performing. Perhaps for next year’s celebrations, and yes, I prophesize, there will be a next year for these All-Ireland Champions, this small oversight can be corrected.
