KT Tunstall - No Smell of Sausages

If this headline does not make any sense to you, you will need to check out this post.

This time KT played in the Olympia theatre (which is nowhere near the Ambassador as I had to learn the hard way;)). I loved the concert. People were standing this time and the room was darker. The crowd formed one big dancing, singing and cheering mass (there were also quite a few marriage proposals addressed at KT; all turned down in the most charming way).

KT and the band were in great form and she performed mainly songs from "Eye to the Telescope" and "Drastic Fantastic" as well as "Ashes". Its hard to say which song the crowd liked best; my guess would be either "Hopeless", "Other Side of the World" or the extra long deluxe version of "Suddenly I See".
My favourites today were "Funnyman" and something that really suited the day "Under the Weather".

Another really enjoyable concert!

The Lesbian Treaty - Gay Pride Parade in Dublin

Another rainy weekend in Dublin. It seems the summer is over for the moment.

It was a big surprise for me to stumble across this colourful Gay Pride parade on Dame Street today. The atmosphere and costumes were really great. Unfortunately I only got some shots of the action with my mobile phone.
It was really good to see all kinds of people stopping to watch the parade and the discussions amongst the spectators were all very positive.
