This happened not so long after the Rose of Tralee and was a gig at which we mainly performed presence (in other words we just rambled around in character) In a lot of ways these can be the hardest gigs in the world to do cos you are expected to wander around for hours shining the light of your dazzling personality at those around you. Doing a show even though you put a mighty amount of energy into the performance is paradoxically a lot easier, if for no other reason than that it is just bish bash bosh give us a couple of hundred people and we will entertain the bejaysus out of them. Where gigs where you just do presence can drag a bit and also you find yourself delivering the same lines to people over and over again. The aim is to interact with as many people as possible so you might if you are on a unicycle say " wow its windy up here" try saying that a hundred times to a hundred people in an hour its not easy. A presence performers worst nightmare is to deliver the same line to the same person.
Anyway this gig was to perform presence for the crowds at the start of a stage of the round Ireland cycling race which started in Tralee and ended up in Galway. This gig was not so bad in fairness as there was lots of interesting and exciting things going on to look at as you rambled around.
So i did loads of monkey biking and ronaldo went around on the powerizers ( fancy name for expensive bouncing stilts). We are happy to include some photos of the band who played at this event who just happen to be friends of ours.
