It was truly heartbreaking to see all those kids standing in the rain at the Westlife concert in Galway last Saturday night. I came on straight after X Factor girlband Hope, when the rain had only started coming down. But by the end, everyone was soaked. I know they were thinking about cancelling the concert at Pearse Stadium but by that stage, it was too late -- we just had to carry on. The whole stage was completely soaked as well, if it's any consolation to the fans. I was sliding around for most of my set, pretending that it was some new dance move but it was all a bit slippy. I can honestly say, it was the worst moment of my career, standing there and looking out at this sea of people getting rained on. But by the end, the mood had lifted and everyone was cheering us on, despite the terrible weather conditions. I have to say, the crowd were just brilliant, one of the best I have ever performed to. The previous evening was a little easier, given that I sang at the Miss Ireland final in Santry. I was backstage beforehand and I got to check out the girls and some of them were just drop dead gorgeous, not that I was ogling them or anything! Playing at a function like that is so different to performing at a live concert but I think everyone got into it. I met the girl who won the contest, Sinead Noonan, and I thought she was just beautiful, just one of these really down-to-earth girls who everyone likes immediately. I've been here in Ireland for most of the week as I've been busy touring around the country, playing gigs in Killarney and Galway. Last Monday, I headed to the Academy on Middle Abbey Street for the launch of Bubble Hits Ireland. I came over as a favour to James Hyland, who set up the station, and I was so glad I did. There was a really good crew there and it was the first time I had ever checked out Aslan live. They were performing on the night too. Christy and the boys were just amazing and it was brilliant the way everyone knew the words to all the songs. Their big hit, Crazy World, is one of my favourite all-time songs, I would love to perform that one day. It was my second time running into the girls from Hope in the space of just two days, as they were there as well, and I also got to meet Tom Baxter for the first time. He seemed really cool. Afterwards, myself and Louis Walsh headed down with a gang to the Morrison Hotel for the aftershow party. It was meant to be an early night but that never seems to happen in Dublin. Of course, I got chatting to some old mates and we all ended up staying in the residents' bar until all hours, catching up on the gossip. Westlife's Mark Feehily was there too with his boyfriend Kevin McDaid. They are so loved-up, it's unreal. Source Herald.ie |
