I won tickets for the concert from the Dave Fanning Saturday radio show but when I turned up at Leisureland, there was no record of the tickets. Luckily a woman in the box office (Grainne McMorrow is the name that comes into my head) recognised me, believed me and let me in. I complained to the radio show and was sent a signed copy of U2's latest album as compensation, with apologies for the confusion. I had the album for years but don't know where it is now. It was a great gig. I saw them the year before when they played at the Galway Rovers clubhouse, supported by a band which included a friend's brother, Brendan Duffy.Pauline Rochehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358643860356533548noreply@blogger.com
