My first true irish night has come and gone...and running into the morning. It being approximately 3:44 am here I'm faring better than my Irish compatriots, solely on time difference alone. Feeling adjusted but not quite there yet. Tonight was quite a good one. After a lazy day, the evening arrived and so did the company I would be spending the evening with. Accompanying a boy and girl (Jamie and Gillian), we took the Dart (the train) into Dublin to see The Staves in concert at the pepper canister church, a tiny architectural wonder of a building with beautiful acoustics. After getting lost on the way there, the concert was amazing and only the start of my Irish musication. Getting lost on our way home we managed to find the station and cam back to the house where we spent a fare amount of time watching the uk versions of many American tv shows. (Mainly so they could prove to me their tv is better. I had to agree!)
Keeping this short, I learned plenty today in terms of music and television. The evening was grand and all in all it was an amazing night.
P.S. Check out The Staves, Kodaline, Lucy Rose, The 1975, Laura Marling, Alt-J, The BlackKeys. All great music from acoustic to alternative to indie.
The Beautiful "The Staves" Trio singing a portion of their song: Facing West at the church! Have a Listen. (Wasn't able to embed!)
