A bunch of great vids already up. Looks like Damien has that beard under control now.

the busking started with a bunch of great guys and their guitar and a lady with her violin (she is amazing), matthew deveraux was there too. they played many great songs to make us (the audience) getting in the busking spirit, i guess. then glen, liam o maonlai, damien and vyv () showed up. glen stated singing and the he called damien (who looked a bit distracted at that moment, he). so, he got up the stage (yes, they prepared the busking area this year, included liam´s piano) with vyv and they played the blower´s daugther + creep and cannonball (everybody cheered him up and sang along!). damien was unusually shy at the beginning in my opinion, but then he was totally into the performance and he did it amazingly. i was in the front row at that time i couldn´t even believe it, especially because a sort of snow (it wasn´t snow really, but it wasn´t only rain either) started falling, which made all the thing magical.
after that, the garda moved us cause the bin truck needed to do its job. so, i ended up quite far from the guys and i couldn´t see if damien was still there (i think he was, but i´m not sure). so, damien dempsey came and sang two beautiful songs and then, again, the garda... boo! ergo: we needed to move one more time. glen and liam started the "procession" to the stephen green´s gate. i got to the front row again. and from that moment on was brilliant. bono showed up and started a few tunes. i love the english (bono)-irish (liam) version of "silent night". glen was amazing, leading the whole thing, but letting everybody do their thing. notes aside: - i never thought of vyv as a beauty, but OMG! she is gorgeous. it was so nice to see her there (they almost used my umbrella to protect the cello, but they got a bigger one). - when we were waiting to move the fist time, i was right beside liam´s piano and i was drinking mate. so, he looked at it and said "mate, uh, can i try?", of course, man. and he gave it a sip. i said he should drink it all until he hears a noise and suddendly i was talking to this guy about mate. damien was right at the opposite side oif the piano but i couldn´t even look at him, i´m so stupid. - as you said, QueenOfTheSouth, it looks like damien has his beard under control, but especially his hair, he. my friend, who knows nothing about damien (apart from his name, and it is because i mention him a lot!, he), told me "i think he was a cast away... but what a voice, he is amazing" - she has a few pics and a video or two (i´m not sure if they are complete), but i have to wait for her to pass them to me. i will post them after that. sorry it was too long, guys. merry christmas to all. many blessings and much love

^ my fault. i posted the same vide twice, pft! there´s a part 2 of the blower´s daughter where you can see that vyv was there. the thing is that from my friend´s perspective, she couldn´t see her very well because of one of the security (or crew) guys. i will try to find that video and i will post it, sorry.
what did you say about liam and a keeper? did you mean the pic or a video? i didn´t understand, he. EDIT: fixed it. you can see vyv at 1.20... for one second (it´s better than othing, isn´t it? )

So glad to hear about your experience Verenita! I am so glad that you were there and got to tell us about it. Very cool
Having said that, Damien, imho, still looks homeless. He needs some grooming and a bath.

yes, she explained it right (where is she from, btw?) and i understand why most of you were hesitant to share the straw but it´s utterly common in our culture, even when new people join the mate round. and, it depends, but yes i carry it around (some ladies in the loo asked me the same, lol) most of the time. i even drank it at some random restaurants that i went to eat.

i was there indeed and, for me, was another dream come true...
i found many sites (even media sites) spreading the news but they all put bono under the spot light, so unfair!

Gah...thank you so much for posting the videos, I'm so jealous that you were there! The BF and I keep saying we want to try to go one year...I bet when we finally do they won't be busking anymore!

you know, i said the same thing since i first knew about the busking, back in 2009... and here i am
and i thought the same: "now that i am here, they won´t play". also, i was afraid of damien not taking part of it this year... and i was standing one piano away from him and i enjoyed the best musical atmosphere ever! so, as long as you don´t plan to do this in 5/10 years time (and even though, you never know), i say you might be the next one of sharing pics, vids and emotions with us

Do you live in Dublin or did you travel to Ireland for the busking? I so want to be there one day and hope your prediction is right :-).

well, i´m living in dublin since october for, at least, a year (if i don´t change my mind though), but when i decided that i would definitely come to ireland in 2011 (you have no idea how hard i worked to make it possible), i also decided that i would be here on xmas... so, i guess they both are the cases, he.
