This is the one award that Bob actually wanted. There was loads of articles in all the papers yesterday. Was a bit irritated how Ronan Keating was mentioned in everyone of them but well done to our Bob

Ten songs!  No wonder he was rehearsing the other day

The IRMA Honours 2006




Friends, family and a host of stars turned out to pay homage to one of Ireland's greatest music legends, Bob Geldof, on Friday 31st March. The singer, credited with putting Ireland on the musical map, was a fore-runner for a new genre of music- New Wave and was responsible for Irelands' first ever number one Irish hit in the UK with Rat Trap.

IRMA Honours is the highest and most distinguished accolade that anyone from the world of music can ever hope to achieve in this country. This priceless evening, sponsored by MasterCard, attracted hundreds of guests from the world of entertainment and music.


'It was a unanimous decision by Irma this year to honour Bob and his contribution to music. He is a legend both nationally and internationally. We are delighted to be able to honour Bob tonight'. Willie Kavanagh , chairman IRMA .


The night kicked off with guests arriving on the red carpet at CityWest. Later in the evening a tribute video was shown to the assembled audience. Participants in the video included Bono, Ronnie Drew, Mick Jagger, Christy Moore, Gaye Byrne, Daniel Ryan from The Thrills, fellow band member Pete Briquette, Phil Chevron, Barry Devlin, Shane McGowan, Larry Gogan, Gavin Friday, Dustin, Leslie Dowdall, Annie Lennox, Elton John Sting and Pete Townsend. An Taoiseach Bertie Ahern also sent a message of goodwill to the rock star.


Bob performed 10 songs on the night, - including: Indifferent, Banana Republic, I Don't Like Mondays and Rat Trap. This was preceded by the presentation of his award by DJ Dave Fanning. The award, a bronze sculpture, was designed by artist Tanya Nyegaard especially for the occasion.

10 songs - that's a mini gig - or a SAD album's worth. What a treat, oh I wish I could have been there with that audience

ROFL!


But I just realized the tour starts on April 12, that's only a week from now.


I also noticed there were two dates in South Africa added, hadn't seen this yet!


Sorry, a bit off topic...

I'd love to see and listen to Bob and the band performing these ten songs, especially 'Banana Republic' ...


The lastest version of Bob performing 'Banana' I have is so many years old....YEARS.... :(
