It was the morning after the night before and David Gray had something he wanted to get off his choest. The English Singer – Hugely popular in Ireland Thanks to an album, White Ladderthat remains the best-selling in our chart history-was shocked by the unruly and disengaged atmosphere at his 3arena gig in Dublin.

Last Sunday, he posted a video on X and Instagram in response to “What was an absolutely mental gig”. “People were hammered,” he said. “It was so rowdy. I don’t think I ever heard an audience as rowdy as that. It was a bit out of control in a way. It’s very hard to weave the subtletic and emotional context and storytelling into the show. We just had to keep our heads and power through.”
