Did you go to Picture This last week? Did you go FIVE TIMES? We did...
Beneath a sky of blue and black, the queue stretches out the door of Eddie Rocket's like the good times never went away.
Smash cut to the bar, much-needed sustenance in sight at €6.50 a pop. There's an art to attending gigs solo - your faithful reporter has no plus one this evening, the ultimate first world problem - and I haven't mastered it. And so you treat the night as a 'stick and move' situation, eking out pockets of space in various corners across a potentially intense three hours, as might a war correspondent.'s name rings out through the building. It's an open goal for the 22-year-old; locked in for five half-hour support slots at a time when his profile has risen considerably since his initial booking.
If you haven't heard it, the track is a mournful effort, tailor-made for Capaldi's wounded range. In tribute, another couple, older this time, go for it. Do people still play that Police song at weddings? He turned 24 on Tuesday, and thus this run marks celebrations worthy of Achilles. There's a vague sadness behind the beams, like a team leader who knows that he has four or five other meetings lined up that day.
The takeaway image is that of Hennessy greeting the closest disciples at their level, mobbed not by outstretched adoring fans, but iPhone cameras in search of focus. That, and the removal of his mesh t-shirt to usher in the finish. Night two is when it really kicks in; Picture This is a boy band that happens to wield instruments. To clarify, there's no great shame in that.
A barman with the same name as mine is in no mood to converse. He's not really a fan, he mutters. I tell him that doesn't matter, I'm just wondering how it's been for him. We're all in this together."No." Outside, a friendly security man says that the past couple of nights weren't as bad as he expected. Inside, the room is piping hot and I don't much care for it.Hitting up the same gig five nights in a row is also questionable, especially with some class of cold/flu kicking in, yet here we are.Maybe I can expense work for the Advil that's currently coursing its way through my system.
It's a tough gig, that one exchange. Indeed, he manages to screw it up at least once, opting for the word "costume" instead of "suit". For shame, Cliff. Once again, it's raucous and boisterous, good times had by the predominantly female assembly, but something is missing. I'm here but not really here at all. The floor is essentially glue now.
