When did certain concerts start becoming framed with the words An Evening with...so and so ? What do those words promise that an ordinary gig doesnt? When I hear sombody say they spent the evening with another person it usually conjures something intimate, a meal, long chats over a few glasses of wine and maybe more. So what exactly do you get at An Evening with Aslan ? Does Christy Duignam gently touch your hand as you both pore over a dessert menu in a dimly lit restraurant and whisper across the table to you Its just great, like, being with you, really being, but I want to know, how can I protect you in this crazy world? Many evenings end with a taxi home. So, imagine you had, in the innocence of your heart, bought tickets for An Evening with Christy Moore. As the evening in quetion drew closer you fantasised about how it might end, like many of the best evenings of your life with a cab ride home. There in the dark of the back seat Christy would turn to you, put his arm on your shoulder and intone in his barrel deep Prosperous voice Well, howz-it-goin-dere, its true you ride the finest horse Ive ever seen... Cabbie checks the rear view mirror as Christy draws ever closer barely whispering ....where are your sacks of barley, will your likes be seen again? Of course these evenings are always a bitter disappointment. You arrive to the agreed rendez-vous, say, The Olympia or Vicar street and you soon realise that both of these cheeky Christys are way beyond just double dating, they are in fact polygamous performers promising intimacy( in-to-me-see) to a packed venue. So you sit salty eyed through the show, jealous of the audience and realising that you are not the one.
