What a start to 2008.

Hi Everyone

What a feast we were treated to at the National Concert Hall in Dublin on Wednesday evening. It truly was Bryn at his best, what a programme. It was very varied, the first time Bryn had sung in Russian, when he sang Prince Igor’s Aria Act 2 (Borodin). There was also a preview from his new album of Celtic Songs which is to be released later this year, Loch Lomond, Cariad Cyntaf and Passing By. There were magical moments O du mein holder Abendstern (Tannhauser Act3) and Still, Still, Still (Austrian Carol). The first encore set the audience alight as Bryn sang about Dublin’s Fair City and Sweet Molly Malone, I think nearly everyone in the audience joined in the chorus. The atmosphere was electric. Still enough from me, I look forward to reading Jools review and can’t help envying everyone in the audience tonight in Belfast.
