U2 Wow Croke Park


There's no doubt! The boys are once again on top form, and managed to wow the 80,000+ fans who had assembled at Dublin's Croke Park to pay homage to the worlds biggest bad U2! Having been a fan since 1979, I've attended a fair few U2 concerts, but never before have I been so monumentally entertained. The 360 degree tour is without doubt their finest offering to date.
The show opened with 4 tracks from the new album to include Magnificent, which summed up the night. During more than 2 hours of non-stop music the band traversed their career with songs like Beautiful Day, The Unforgettable Fire, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride and With or Without You.
The Set, which Bono described as their space ship, is incredible and definitely adds value to already excellent nights entertainment. There are a few nice surprises, which I wont mention, just in case you're planning to see the boys in action. Suffice it to say, you will not be disappointed in any way!

Keep up the good work guys, and I now eagerly await the next album and tour!

Less than a Week to Croke Park!


You may or may not be aware that I'm an enormous U2 fan. Some might call be a grouppie, but I'm not sure I've got the bug that badly...but then again... Saturday 25th July, I shall be joining the mongal hordes all paying homage to their favourite bad in the boys home town of Dublin! Yes folks, I'll be enjoying the extravaganza of U2's latest 360 degree tour, and frankly can't wait to see the band performing live again, which is where their music is always at its best.

I can only hope that there will be the odd golden oldie thrown into the mix, especially the odd tune from the Joshua Tree, which is my favourite of their albums...

More of the concert in a week or so's time, in the meantime you can always catch up with the bands activities at http://www.u2.com/.

Apologies for the Silence

Humble apologies to all of you who follow my blog on a regular basis, things have been a bit hectic in the world of all things Jezza, so I've been unable to find sufficient time to put the old digits over the keyboard to keep you up to date.
What's been keeping me so busy? Well, it would be telling at this stage, but suffice it to say there are a couple of exciting projects which are currently in the research and development stage at the moment, and I'm hoping the team and I will be able to share more details with you in the coming weeks.
