Singer James Vincent McMorrow played the Iveagh Gardens Dublin last night to an ecstatic crowd of 500 eager music fans.
It was the since Lewis Capaldi played on March 10 last year and streamed by the National Concert Hall worldwide.
Dubliner James said he’s been feeling the pressure since fans have been calling him, “the human light at the end of the tunnel”.
He added: “I took photos on my Instagram account, it looks like a festival.
“They went all out for the stage. I didn’t really think about what it was going to look like, we’ve all been in rehearsals for the last week trying to make it sound as good as possible.
“But it looks amazing, it’s going to be special.”
The audience were safely distanced in pods which are shaping the future for gigs to come.
Speaking to Ian Dempsey on Today FM yesterday, James added: “Essentially they marked out the grass, so I think everyone who bought tickets gets their own pod.
“It’s a strange one, 500 people which is obviously a lot more than has been played in a long time here.
“So like over a huge field we were worried it would look a bit strange but I think the way they have done it, it will actually feel pretty good.
“When you’re in your little pod you do what you want.”
