@Brian Cheers for the comment. I resisted the “well worts the waits” pun. Wish I had used it now.

I worked with a Brian McLoughlin once. Is it you?

@Pedro So you should be! ‘Twas awesome!

@YerMan – Cheers for the comment!

@Ken Thank you for the comment. Four times? Very cool. We were very lucky with the pics. They came out very well.

@Mary Yep – brilliant pic. Love it.

@lecraic It was one of those gigs that inspires passion. It was easy to write.

@Cornflake We were just 6 rows back – fantastic seats. We were so lucky. Happy Birthday, btw.

@Pauric Please tell me you’re joking?

Hi there,

I was on Tom´s gig but on 31st July (my birthday´s gift!) and it was impressive.

I really enjoyed your picture, I couldn´t make any but it looks you should be quite close to the stage, doesn´t it?

Cheers,
M.

Sounds like a truly wonderful gig. Not a Tom Waits fan either but you give an account that shows true passion for music. Nice one Darren.

I was there with you on the night. Not beside you but with you nonetheless.

This was my fourth time to see him and it was well up there at the top of the list with ’81 in the Olympia.

Great post, lovely piccies.

How great indeed was Tom!

I’m insanely jealous, man. That second last pic with all the glitter is AMAZING.
