Thread Name: Review: Pat cooksey in Cologne
Subject: RE: Review: Pat cooksey in Cologne
The crowd photos are from Arnsberg, near Dortmund, I was there. this was not a Tourism gig, just Pat Cooksey, Sean Cannon, and the band,a huge hall packed full. Cooksey played a brilliant solo set and finished with his hits The Reason I left Mullingar, and the Sick note, to massive applause, of course everyone knew these songs, but to finally hear the author sing them himself was really special. Sean and the band were also really great, then for the last part Pat and Sean took turns singing Dubliners songs with the band, they were obviosly having as much fun as the crowd, they did at least four encores, what a night. I bought Pat's new C.D. Live in Franken, which is the region around Nuremberg where he lives, and this is also great fun, worth the price for his charming German alone.
