Sligo Spur of Moment day-trip to see wonderful The Celtic Tenors’ James Nelson’s solo Show on his Birthday… an Intimate, funny, highly charged Emotionally, deeply Personal, 70min musical Journey through 15 varied songs, some Yeats poetry, and ten times as many Laughs and stories, all with his own mellifluous Piano-playing… a Coffee-table book of things Fans say with the best of Intentions… ‘You guys should get Lessons’ to ‘Can I get a Picture with the Fat one?’…
He was in better shape than Me… I played the first Tenors concert in 1995 and on several CDs, and even remember doing some Bach in Dundalk with James while he was still in College… decided not to Stay the night, declining the only Hotel room available in town for €247 (Saturday night, no Breakfast offer)… briefly Swung by Westlife as a fifth Member, my dinner guests in the Gluten-free Fish and Chips corner of Hooked were a Cow and Father Jack… they Understand me…
