Thanks for the set list Trilly! It sounds wonderful! Wow great to hear it all went so well, that's fantastic that "Longer" is also on the set-list now from CTW and a few of the older ones as well, very nice mix!

[Trilly]

'Longer' suits his voice so well, Shims. I was so happy he sang it. He sounded so beautiful, just glorious tones.

[shimmery]

Longer must be absolutely amazing live, hopefully I'll hear that at one of the shows as well So glad it sounds like it all went very well

[Nuffy]

THANKS for conming on so soon Trilly!!! OMG I love Longer... I was so wishing he'll do that!!!
Love the set list and I'm just imagining how great it was. He's relaxed and not stressed? So glad to hear that.

He was incredibly relaxed, Nuffy! He seemed to be loving every minute of it! He said that the hills near Wellers reminded him of home in Ireland, and the rain made it just perfect!

He had a beer or two whilst performing, and said that people think that because he's Irish he must be able to drink a lot..he says he's he cant,he's a cheap drunk!

[Trilly]

Oh, and almost the entire room lined up for the signing afterward. ;D (about 70 people). It moved along nicely though, and D wasn't held up for too long. We got to have a quick hug and chat. ;D because we are going back tomorrow night, we made it very brief. I didn't have my cameras tonight, just wanted to listen. Tomorrow we will be up the front, so I should get some decent shots. Princey has some though.

haha..at one point, the lovely ladies on the table next to us yelled out "We LOVE you Damien!!" D spotted us, and said.."ahhh, I know those ladies down the back.It's wonderful to see familiar faces"..we tried to tell him it wasn't us who called out!!..but to no avail!
