Wow! To think we suddenly found ourselves in Garth’s dressing room…
Well, how AWESOME was that? OUR NIGHT WITH GARTH!
I’m still not over it! So embarrassing!
You’re so ungrateful!
Look, I know it was amazing that we got direct access to him, but really, your behaviour…
He took it well!
Mmnn…
We’ll never forget that night! Can you believe I got backstage passes, and that we actually met Garth Brooks for half an hour before he went on stage!
NO! And you’ll have to tell me how you got those passes. Was it Joe Brolly? The Editor? Roscommon County Board? Was it Daniel O’…
I’m sorry, I REALLY cannot comment! My lips are sealed!
Well they weren’t exactly sealed when we met up with Garth! SO embarrassing!
(They pause to stare at the photos they took with a slightly stressed looking Garth Brooks backstage at Croke Park on Saturday night)
What a night! You and I with exclusive access to Garth Brooks, as the crowds took their seats in the stadium…
Yeah, but the stuff you came out with…
Oh come on! It’s awesome that I got those passes. Even the experience of gaining access to the VIP area in the backstage section was incredible.
True, I suppose…
Fancy us meeting Bono, and Bressie too…I love those celebrities who are known by just one name.
So you said to Twink…when you were at maximum grovelling!
Yeah, mind you, she went on a bit. I’m glad that dapper chap in the white suit rescued us, I’d say he was security…
That was Marty Whelan…
Anyways, to think we then suddenly found ourselves in Garth’s actual DRESSING ROOM…
…because you insisted on posing as part of his entourage…
Sometimes you gotta be creative! Besides, he liked us!
Yeah, at first…until you went on and on and on…
I only showed him two of the songs I’ve written!
Fancy showing him a song entitled ‘The Country King who lost the plot’!
Look, it was a satire on the events of 2014, I think he liked it!
Then you had the cheek to tell him his five-in-a-row at Croke Park is impressive, but that the Dubs did a six-in-a-row!
I think he got the joke! Garth’s got a sense of humour!
By the way, he’s still very fit, he kept getting up and down off the couch when we were talking to him, then he started walking away and going around in circles! I guess it’s part of his pre-stage routine!
It might have had something to do with you inviting him to Roscommon!
I was only being sociable!
Yeah, but you asked him to headline a concert in The Square, followed by smaller gigs in Athleague and Knockcroghery!
He’d have some craic! I think he may be on for it! That’s when he called one of his security people over…I presume so they could take a note of my offer.
Eh…I think that’s when we were gently marched back to our seats!
