It was, indeed, a fantastic show. I was a little nervous when I had seen the rescheduled date a few months back, as I thought I might be away on vacation. Then, I forgot about it and it sort of crept up on me. Thank God for the newsletter.
I know many have heard the expression about a band or artist "sounding like they do on an album" when they perform live, and I know the Moya concert veterans will agree that she Definitely fits this description. Her voice is truly impressive, and the musician quality is top notch.
I could have sat there for hours more listening to them play. After they had flown in from Dublin that morning, I really couldn't believe how good they all sounded, and other than that slight "frog" in her throat mentioned before, Moya was spot on.
Then, meeting Moya and the band after the show was more than a treat. Moya is simply a warm and friendly person who you could see yourself sitting down to chat with for hours. I found myself a bit nervous while waiting to meet her, especially being last on the line and having that lengthy wait for the moment. However, within seconds, Moya plainly disarmed me and made me feel quite at ease with her down to earth manner and personality. My brother and his wife were with me, and they were blown away by the concert and the kindness of Moya and the band. It was Definitely an evening I shall not soon forget, and I am truly thankful to Moya for taking the time to chat. Also, a thank you to the band, and, particularly, Sinead for the autograph and the picture as well. For those who don't know, Sinead Madden has her own solo album, "Honey Promises", coming out soon. She has quite an impressive voice of her own.
