The Return Of The Thin White Spook
Almost thirteen months have passed since that memorable Friday evening when Spooky, Gail, Mike and friends took to the stage at The Cobblestone in Dublin's Northside, closely watched and cheered on by fans and the rest of the Reality band. It was a fantastic evening for all lucky enough to be present and a great warm up for the two Bowie shows to follow at The Point.
Tuesday's gig at the intimate Crawdaddy venue was equally exciting, with Spooky playing an impressive set to a delighted gathering of family, friends and fans..
Most of the tracks performed were from "Spooky Ghost" and "The Light Machine" (Gerry?s studio albums) with some new exciting material yet to be recorded. Mr Ghost informed us that he intends to lay down these tracks live some time in the new year...
He did do one cover...a song he said was "written by an English fella I met in New York"...Gerry then performed the stripped down version of "Loving the Alien "...sounded great with his Dublin accent.
Support on the evening was by Stone Ocean (sorry didn?t see these guys cause my taxi was late) and the talented Pamela Sue Mann.
Spooky performed alone. However, Pamela Sue Mann did join him for backing vocals on some songs.
Here's the set list from Tuesday night:
01 Pray-er
02 Sign
03 The Gathering
04 The Palace
05 Treasure
