Superb evening in the presence of greatness. Tony Clayton-Lea was his brilliant, witty self on MC duties and Gail Ann, Mike, Mark & Gerry gave us so many new insights in to their lives working with Bowie.. They play live tonight in Whelan's, gonna be a very special night

Big kudos to John Brereton and all ar Dublin Bowie Festival for another great week, 10th anniversary and the gig tonight in the 3Arena was the icing on the cake. The festival gets no public funding, which is hard to understand, a lot of people travelled to it Fáilte Ireland!
