The Frames joined by Damien Rice at The Point
The Frames’ love affair with the Irish public shows no sign of abating with their Point Theatre show last night a complete sell-out.
If you weren’t there, fear not, because the whole shebang was filmed by Ned O’Hanlon’s Solo Two company for future DVD release.
There was an added bonus for fans when Damien Rice took to the stage for an unannounced set, which, not surprisingly, almost took the roof off the gaff.
Says our man in the front-row Peter Murphy: “There was no fanfare or introduction. Damien sauntered on stage, guitar in hand, and proceeded to dominate the cavernous environs of The Point, inspiring a rush from the foyer. In soaring vocal form, he was joined by Lisa Hannigan for a seething ‘Volcano’, swiftly followed by an epic and overwrought ‘Blower’s Daughter’. Job done, he sauntered off again presumably in search of some fresh razors.”
You can read Mr. Murphy’s whole review of the night in the next issue of Hot Press, out on Thursday November 17.
