the weekend

was busy but very good

work in ALT on friday night then woke up kinda early to go to dun laoghaire

it was raining so much when i arrived but i took shelter besides the lighting desk in front of the main stage (and sandy showed me how this new desk was working at the same time, i love touch screens desks! they are so easy to use)

saw Bridgy and then Senses (good musicians but not my thing)

then sun came out as Tiken Jah Fakoly came on stage, not a big fan of reggae but i certainly admire his message for the freedom of speech (this man has been in exile for years)

it started raining again as soon as he went off stage. i went back to work. i got a text from a friend saying "my stage just got shut down, the tent became loose and the wind was too strong for it to stay up and they had to evacuate the tent just before gorillaz came on stage." so yeah that's what happened in marlay park for lovebox.

ALT was fun with excellent djs. then we stayed a bit late for a few drinks

i came back home at 8am. slept for 5 hours and went back to dun laoghaire- i just had to go there early when i saw the fantastic weather outside!

a great day with a fantastic Ukrainian band to start DakhaBrakha (great drummers and energy)

then Sergent Garcia came on stage, and here i was dancing cuban salsa again (i learned to dance salsa in france with cuban teachers for 3 years). such a pleasure i am now determined to take the time to go dancing salsa again (and learning a few new steps) hopefully i can find good cuban teachers in dublin.

special post on sergent garcia with pictures and a video and special backstage review to come!
