And this is where all the visual memories and mementos of my Acoustic “gig hop” Tour come to rest. What an amazing three weeks it was! Nine Simple Minds gigs in 21 days! I may never get to repeat it…but I hope I do. I get the feeling the 40th anniversary is going to be EPIC. I just CANNOT wait (but my finances are at least happy for the recovery time!).
The Long Room at Trinity College – honestly! This place was straight out of the library scene from Beauty And The Beast…and I felt like Belle…my jaw dropped!
It even had a magical spiral staircase…
One of the reasons why a trip to Trinity College was so important to me…its ties with this man…James Joyce. I derived such imagery of Dublin having read Dubliners and A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man…it was always part of the draw why I had wanted to visit Dublin for so long.
One final amazing meal at Cornucopia…
A bit of Oz everywhere I turned. Lol
And one final souvenir/memento I bought myself…a beautiful celtic cross pendant.
