We went on the hunt for Andy Liddle at some boozer he said he'd be drinking in after the gig. He never showed! And then somehow ended up drinking in New Order's hotel till 5am, with a free bar courtesy of sshhhhh! Only Mr Cunningham lasted the distance with us.
 That's about the size of it - Phil, Andy R.(I think?) & Natalie(honest - that's who she was Al!) - all stayed the distance. I don't remember Steve being there at all, But Gillian & family (including sister - so you were right there Cranelane) were there a while & Bernard stayed until after Eimear gave that fascinating 'speach'. Pre-drinks was a lot of fun - great to catch up with you guys again Gig was a bit of a blur - spent most of it in front of 'Mini Mike' & was very impressed with the sound quality, normally it's too distorted so close to the stage. Probably was the best I've seen them play since . . . I dunno. I did miss The Elephant in the Room's posturings, but on the other hand, its great to have Gillian back - sound is so much fuller now & I've always felt the gigs in the last decade were lacking that without her. Anyone remember the set list? Edited by user 06 June 2012 17:55:15(UTC)

Yep, best open air gig yet. But it wasn't a reason to wet yourself during the gig.  Did anything from general interest happen in the hotel, El Jarvo?  Edited by user 07 June 2012 04:32:38(UTC)

Irish Times Quote:And then suddenly we were at the Saturday night headliners, where festival reputations are won and lost. On the main stage were chart colossi New Order,... Quote:But back on the main stage, all eyes were on New Order. The band who launched a thousand electro dance tunes in 1983 with the release of Blue Monday got a rapturous reception when they took to the stage. This set took time to develop its energy though. Woolly sound took a while to shake off its shackles, but by then the hits were rolling and the fans were up in ecstatic arms. There are few ways to top unleashing an extended version of Blue Monday on a festival crowd, but sealing a set by drawing on Joy Division’s peerless Love Will Tear Us Apart is one sure way to cement your live reputation. Highlights aside, this set might have seemed a little underwhelming for those of us who don’t entirely subscribe to the new world order, but for the fans who have waited a long time for this gig to happen, it delivered all the right knockout electro pop blows.

We stayed at The Maldron in Cardiff Lane which would have been very convenient had we been attending a gig at the 02  A review from my local newspaper complete with out of date pic.. Irish Examiner (Link isn't working so well so here is the text) Quote:New Order were the festival circuit veterans at Forbidden Fruit in Kilmainham.
As headliners, they had one great advantage over other acts on the bill: they got to play as darkness descended, affording them the natural atmospherics their music cries out for.
Bernard Sumner is never the most charismatic of frontmen. He says little, and even then can barely be understood. Now and then he divests himself of his guitar and shuffles awkwardly about the mic, but that’s as far as his stage craft goes.
Peter Hook, slouching about with his low-slung bass, was always Sumner’ss natural foil on stage, and his absence only serves to point up Sumner’s shortcomings all the more (these days, Hookie fronts a band called The Light, playing Joy Division’s first album Unknown Pleasures in its entirety).
But Sumner & Co delivered their set with the grace and professionalism one always associates with New Order.
They opened with Elegia, Crystal and Regret. After 30 years in and out of the studio, they have no shortage of material to choose from, and Age of Consent and True Faith also got stirring outings.
The crowd were with them from the start, but all the more so when they launched into that strangest of pop singles, ‘Blue Monday’, an epic slice of electro-trance perfection that seems entirely ageless.
They followed that with the utterly irresistible ‘Temptation’, before closing with another crowd-pleaser, Joy Division’s paean to doomed love, ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’.

Thought it was the best gig ive seen new order play in 20 years. I was at the Glasgow gig recently and although it was good I thought the sound was a bit heavy for the guitar numbers. however the open air made the sound much better. It was also the best crowd reaction i have seen the band get in comparaison to the other festivals they played in ireland in the last 10 years and the reviews have been very positive from what i have read. was funny to see barney head out to the jacks just as the set was about to stat and i also noticed gillian and stephens kids seemed to be with them.
the band also took part in a q+a in the hot press signing tent which lasted around 20 mins. noone mentioned hooky but one person asked was anik the yoko of the band. didnt get answered. Barney threatened they were going to play world in motion and overall they were extremely pleasant and relaxed.

royal hospital kilmainham
There's a hipster takeover as day two of Forbidden Fruit hits its stride. Sideways quiffs, skinny pants and 'interesting' moustaches are out in force as the buzz act of the weekend, Montreal lady-popster Claire Boucher, aka Grimes, performs at the Undergrowth tent. Looking like a china doll from an alternative dimension, the alabaster- skinned Boucher may make dense, introverted music but she knows how to work a cooler-than-thou crowd. By the time she reaches for quasi smash 'Oblivion', the room is as giddy as the front row at a One Direction show.
On the main stage, punk-funk veterans The Rapture provide a blast of early 2000s nostalgia via their classic 'House of Jealous Lovers'. A cynic would tell you everything they've done since is a variation of the song's over caffeinated, Cure-go-dance blueprint.
A freezing gale swirls about Kilmainham as Death Cab For Cutie slope on. The floppy fringed 30-somethings are as angsty as you'd expect a group that came together in 90s Seattle to be, though, without the traditional incoherent rage. Largely a cult affair in Europe, Death Cab are arguably better known on account of frontman Ben Gibbard's recently ended marriage to 'adorkable' pin-up Zooey Deschanel.
Sad, sweet staples such as 'Soul Meets Body' and the divine 'Marching Bands of Manhattan' suggest we've been missing out.
In the Lighthouse tent, New York glitch-up artist Com Truise -- do you see what he did there? -- is leaning over his laptop, frowning intensely.
As is no doubt mandatory for someone with a tune on the Tron remix soundtrack, his electronica tends towards the doomily portentous. With the sky outside turning darker by the minute, the ominous overtones couldn't be more appropriate.
Now that they are estranged from iconic bassist Peter Hook, the fear is headliners New Order will be a shadow of their former selves. In fact, their main stage slot is a revelation.
Bravely, they've loaded the set with obscurities, such as the proto-Blue Monday album track '586' and the chiming, Smiths-esque 'Age of Consent'. Topping things off, they encore with their toweringly melancholic Joy Division hit 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'.
You stumble into the night all the hairs on your neck standing to attention, a chill down your spine.

Great day out, great gig. As always a pleasure to meet up with the traveling army (on this occasion Al, Mark, Gordie, Norbert & Steve) and the Irish Order. Deffo doing Spain (the island gigs) now, hope to see a few of you there After 30 odd years it looks like they have this live thing licked. Here's a link to the New Order interview pre-gig in the Hot Press tent, mainly Barney and Steve. Great to see them looking so relaxed and in good form. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO2Eamp9f6g

Pah! What bollocks. Dumb journalist. Barney has at times come out with funniest lines and quips i've ever had the good fortune of hearing at gigs ever! Very underrated comedian. Can't imagine Bongo or Piss Martin ever coming out with funnier quips in a million years. The journo obviously has a very dull sense of humour.

Eh? That was a very positive review, Barney's never played the part of a "charismatic frontman" - he's never been a traditional frontman anyway, for the better.

From newordernowQuote:. We always seem to have great shows in Dublin and this was no exception. It was hands in the air all the way to the back of the crowd, past the desks where I was watching from. A highlight of the tour this far, and thanks to the vikings and associates for apres show drinks back at the hotel. |
