 I do gigs with my own crowd, but its a bit more of a weight really with the Boomtown Rats. The band arose out of an economic social condition and we actually ended the band with an unemployment benefit in Dublin in 1986. Now, almost 30 years on, its almost the exact same conditions.

 Peter [ Aiken of Aiken Promotions] told us we couldnt reunite the Rats and play the Isle of Wight and not play in Ireland. So we started rehearsing and found that the songs I wrote in the 70s could have been written today,
