The Haagsche Courant - November, 21 2001
translation by Monique Tanja The co-operation of the Irish specialist in sweet romance was planned for years, but his always fullscheduled agenda didn't allow him long time guest part. He was also a bit frightened himself because of the short time performance. "To present yourself in 3 or 4 numbers is hard to do" confess the troubadour from Dublin. "In all those years my performance takes longer and longer nowadays i perform for more than 3 hours, just like Bruce Springsteen. It's because i can't decide what to sing from my repertoire, i mostly like singing form all my 17 albums! Finally i let the decision to the organization at least they know the rest of the program. Chris also remarked the interaction between stage and public. "There is no reserve" "Everbody s here to have a great time, when sometimes something goes wrong it's no disaster, most important is the shared fun! For a more various public than i am usual playing for.For myself i've never expected to meet so many younger people. It's the proof for me that youth is really more interested in this, instead of heavy rock 'n roll and house that makes MTV run over".
