Shane McGowan was in attendance for the first night of Tom Wait's trio of performances at The Ratcellar in the Phoenix Park last night. He was looking for a Guinness, but instead found a veteran artist at the top of his game.
Jim Carroll has a great review of last night's show here:

He lists ten interesting and funny aspects of the gig. The tenth is excellent:
"(10) The reason why the venue is called The Rat Cellar? The audience looked like drowned rats slinking away afterwards into the Dublin night as the rain came down in buckets"
