The inimitable Mark Geary played the Backstage bar in Monroes Live last Friday as part of the Galway International Arts Festival. The full band included Graham Hopkins on Drums and Mark Penny on Keys. Before a note was played, Mark had the entire audience move forward until everyone was right up at the stage, some even sitting on the floor to be really close. This intimacy lead to quite a tender and beautiful gig where everyone was hanging on every word. The performance was beautiful, and it’s always great to hear classics like Gingerman in the set early on. (Open post for full set)
