U2 have announced that they will play a concert in Croke Park on July 24th as part of their new world tour. Anyone who was in Dublin in the summer of 2005 will remember the three sell out concerts U2 played in Croke Park that June.  Croke Park holds 80,000 so the three concerts saw 240,000 tickets sold in record time.  Hopefully more nights will be announced or the 80,000 for  one night will sell out in seconds and be sold by touts for hundreds.

I’ve been meaning to visit Newbridge Silverware Museum of Style Icons for ages. Now I definitely need to get a move on. Next month an auction of over 2000 of Michael Jacksons personal belongings take place in Beverly Hills. The auction is being organised by Julien’s Auctions and some of those items are going on view in the Newbridge Museum from tomorrow. According to news reports Michael Jackson issued a legal threat during the week but it appears the exhibition is still going ahead.

I’m not sure how long the exhibition will be on show, but get yerselves to Newbridge soon. Directions can be found on their website here. Its not that far from Dublin really

Just a quick word to let you know that I have been tinkering away in the background and have done some upgrades to WordPress (the blogging platform that this site works on) and a few other bits and pieces. To the reader, nothing should have changed, but if you notice anything not working, please let us know!
