A combination of a bit of a clearout and excitement for seeing my boy Neil Hannon back in Belfast this evening got me thinking of an old hobby. If you can call it a hobby - collecting setlists at gigs. This usually meant hanging around after the show had finished and torturing the roadies doing clean up, hoping someone would take pity on that exhausted uberfan down the front.
I miss those days when I'd be first in and last out at every gig I attended. These days, of course, that's left to others with wider eyes - the likes of myself now stay down the back, in a corner, out of harm's way. Sunrise, sunset....
Anyway. here's what I was after, a Divine Comedy setlist from an Empire show in 1998 - nice and worn after spending a few years tacked to the walls of various student lodgings...
Neil Hannon's other outfit, The Duckworth Lewis Method play the Limelight 1, Belfast this evening.
