It's ages since I saw the Lovebirds; I think they took a long break from gigs and when they did play they clashed with Little Fish playing. When I saw they were playing at the Dublin Castle it seemed a good opportunity to catch up with them. Also on the bill were a band called Molloy who I seem to remember at last year's Indy awards winning an award. They are a quality band who are enjoyable without becoming instant favourites (but then I'm trying to cut down on instant favourites as I already have too many favourites to catch everyone). Surprisingly low on the bill, but convienient for me to fit in with another pint of London Pride before the Lovebirds. The lights are excellent again, although the lovebirds manage to stand in the wrong place and generally block the best angles for photographs with a strange positioning of microphone stands. I remember why I liked the Lovebirds, they have some really good songs and perform with excitement.
