Tennents Vital 2012

The Foo Fighters, I have to say, were amazing!! Dave Grohl had so much energy, the way he ran up and down that stage and was still able to sound amazing shows that he has been doing this for a long time.  I cannot remember exactly how many songs that sang in the end but at one point Dave Grohl said he needed to stop talking to the crowd so that he could sing the 29 songs that they were there to do. 

Dave Grohl dedicated a few of the songs to his daughter Violet who was sitting on stage watching her daddy do his thing.  Not a bad 'Bring Your Daughter To Work Day'

The aftermath of the concert was local residents and people as far out as Comber saying that they could hear the concert clearly and that it disrupted their nights sleep - one night of the year and they are complaining!!!!

P.S Have you ever come across an 'Oxygen Party Bar'?? As you can see from the photos there was one at Tennents Vital and it looked very very bizarre to me.  You pay £5.00 for 5 minutes of pure Oxygen which is meant to give you more energy to last the day.  Sorry but I just don't get it at all!!!

P.P.S The Black Keys were amazing too!!!!!!

I will apologise in advance for the photo and video overload in this post but I just had to sure every last one of them.

Let me introduce you to the wonderful Peter McVeigh!! I first heard of Peter last year when a friend 'liked' his page on Facebook (I know Facebook gets in everywhere but its true) and being the person that I am and knew that said friend's musical taste could be trusted off I went for a listen.  By the end of the night I had ordered his new EP Lights (which you can get here) and EP from his old band Eskimo's Fall.

My favourite song is at the bottom of this post, give it a listen and then head on over and tell Peter how much you loved his music which I know he would love.

Here are the 16 local bands/artists that will be competing for a slot, to play, on the main stages of Tennents Vital 2012  before The Foo Fighters, Black Keys and the Minutes and Florence and the Machine and The Stone Roses.

I will be attending Showcase 2, cheering on and keeping my fingers crossed for local artist Peter McVeigh. I  have loved his music for quite some time now and Thursday will be the first time that I get to hear him live - finally!!!
