Belfast 20.12.04 - By Mary
Amazing!!! Wow wot can I say, it was such a good show! I went down to the Odyssey for 5.30 and was just pulling up as Ronan went in. we seen him walking in but he had gone by the time we jumped out of the car I really couldnt believe it! He usually never arrives until 7ish and i was gutted to have missed him by literally a minute!!
The show itself was fantastic. Ro was on top form and said he had been waiting a year to get to Belfast cos the last time he was here he couldnt speak (and he did an impression of himself) but he said that it was us that had got him through it that night and tonight was definately gonna be a better show than last year! :D
Most people were up dancing away and the crowd were as loud as everytime im in the Odyssey. During the way u make me feel I got to shake his hand :D Have done it the previous 2 years as well but was still shaking so much after lol. His voice was perfect and he said it was so great to be home and back in Belfast. Thanked us for the huge welcome and he put on a brilliant show!!
Every part was fantastic, highlights were probably the way u make me feel, father and son and then the first few as I was on a total high at seeing him :D The new songs were stunning! Summer outside was def my fave but am really loving 747 as well. Had always imagined it to actually be 7 4 7 but its actually seven, forty seven lol. Janet was fab as always and there was loads of jokin with the band and plenty of input from them.
He was in a great mood, told us to have a great christmas and he would hopefully be back in Belfast next year :D I really hope he is too! Dont wanna wait until 2006.
After it was over, my cousin and I went to the toilet while my other 4 cousins went round the back of the Odyssey. I knew there was an afterparty for him in Bar Seven and thought he'd probably go for a few drinks as he usually does do, but as we were on our way out, one of my cousins rang to say ronan had just left wit barrie and mick devine. He had said to everyone to take care and god bless and have a great christmas but didnt sign as apparently there were a lot there. So missed him twice! Am happy for my little cousins though as one is only 11 and she was delighted to see him leaving. And anyway iv had my fair share of Ronan ;)
Roll on Dublin tomorrow is all I say, tonight was out of this world but I reckon tomorrow will be even better! :D Hope everyone had a great night tonight, I know I did!
