2008 Savoy concert memories...

While waiting for BRMC december gig at The Academy ( Dublin ) i was thinking to bring back the good old cold days and then - 8th of May, they "hit the town" of Cork which i'm a resident for good 5 years already ( can't believe it myself...)

i was really surprise that the band will visit, let's say that-quite small town on their road map as Cork...but i was SO happy when i've heard that they gonna play here.

so let's bring the momories to life...



i have never been at Savoy, maybe because it was mainly friday-saturday night fever place for "dance music" people or occasionally venue for old tramps playing in Cork.

when i entered, i was happly surprise to see quite a small, dark venue-ideal for Rebels to play !
inside is not like Ambassador Theatre style but it still was a good spot. 

the support band ilya k was a quite heavy dublin band, bit chaotic with vocalist full of expression...
they finished quickly, packed the gear and let as see Nick's drum set 



place getting dark and this familiar, psychedelic sound is getting out...and THEY START with "666 conducer"

i was trying to get closer to the stage, pushing and pulling with one of the lads and after good 4 songs i was close to the stage with a smile on my face...


i went for a beer and took left flank this time to focus on Robert from now on...and i was able to do that with no problems as generous couple let me go right under the stage.







Robert with his characteristic "hood on" went off stage to the fans hugging few girls, they probably was so excited that one of them didn't even mind getting "gently" punched by Robert's guitar...

I was trying to shot Nick behind the drum set and finally i got lucky...




they have played over 2 hours, with great songs...personally it wasn't as good as my first BRMC gig at Ambassador Theatre in 2007 but You probably understand that as it was my first time seeing guys live on stage...
