Once upon a time, a boyband came into my office, “They’re going to be the next Boyzone” I was told and off we went to a secret gig in Dublin to see them “do their thing”. A friend of mine with a camera, asked a girl on work experience in the office if she wanted a picture taken with them – “No, way – who are Westlife anyway ?” was the reply. I guess she knows now. I only mention this because for the second year running at Gala we’ve had a guy who’s easily one of the best singer songwriters I have ever seen, and we had him here, playing live.
If you were in the Lep last night, but thought “that’s not worth a fiver”, I’ve a funny feeling, in the not too distant future, you’ll know exactly how that work experience person felt all those years ago…..
