Next trip up on the blog tour of ireland was our gig in Farrnaree in Cork city sorry about the spelling on that one. The event was the opening of a park and the definite highlight of the day for me was to witness Ronaldo getting wound up as he struggled to get to the venue for the gig while his battery died. He later admitted that he had drank a quality strong double espressso and this may have addded to the panic. It was priceless but in fairness he had a point. So i landed up in the Blackpool shopping center there and just asked for directions to farnaree Ronaldo on the other in his conversations with the organiser insits the at no stage was faranree mentioned by name. I called him at one stage and he was bulling steam coming out of the ears. i finally got some sense out of him in between rants" Look buds i called the lady and all she will tell me is that it is at the church at the top of the hill which hill butler Which $%*# hill? its all hills buds."
We worked it out in the end.
Dont let the photos put you off the people did come to see the show it was just that they came late as Irish people do anyway we ended up having a really enjoying the show. After that we went buying music. I got the new Beastie Boys Instrumental album and a James Yorkston disk and the other Fanzini got lost in records.
Culinary highlighs abounded for meself Guido as meself and Mrs Guido were on a holiday down in the real capital.
Cafe Paradiso was my highligh stonking great veggie food. Mrs Guido however who is more of an omnivore was disappointed with the food but she indulged me in my passion with great forbearance in other words she took one for the team. For my part i thought that the food was spectacular, nothing short of spectacular. A great inventive menu also great combinations of ingredients i had an veg suishi starter and an almond gallette fantastic light pastry i drooll as i think of it now. Monster good dessert vanilla pod ice cream with a shot of something and a shot of espressso almost too much three differnet containers on a plate where to begin, a delicious predicament. I should also warn that the dinner was also rather expensive with starter at a weighty Euro 13-15 and mains at 23-25 tasty salty even......but still worth it. Book early to avoid disappointment.
