First time seeing BT live last night in Limerick as a band though I’ve seen a couple of Adrianne solo shows.

I don’t have a frame of reference to compare it to but it didn’t seem to me like Buck enjoyed last night as much as Adrianne, James and Josh (with whom she had a particular chemistry- lots of smiles in his direction).

Maybe he’s just quiet or was having an off night but there was a decent part of the set where the arrangements called for just one guitar and he was left watching the rest of the band play.

He’s a wonderful guitar player and I thought he was a bit underutilised- Adrianne is an amazing rhythm guitarist and picker but I enjoyed his lead bits more than hers which were often brilliant but at times wilfully (for a musician of her incredible talent) scrappy and rough around the edges.

So excited to be heading to the Limerick and Dublin shows.

Hard to know what to expect having seen the set lists and recordings from the London shows.

Dolan’s could be interesting- could be a bit more intimate with maybe some more solo material- could be wishful thinking on my part as I loved the Canices and Vicar St shows in 2023 or it could be more experimental in such a small venue.

Kinda ambivalent about the 3 arena gig- not a venue I like but it’s BT in my home town so no complaints.

One thing is for sure- they are never predictable live.

Anyone know is the 20:00 in Dolan’s doors or BT on stage time- trying to navigate the traffic from Dublin and balancing work commitments tomorrow.
