The Wailers came back to Dublin this year 2003 on the 17th of July.

The band is as good as ever, the lead singer Gary Pine is still with the group, he is a brilliant singer and really put his heart and soul into the music.

They played a good 2 hour set and I was delighted to meet Family Man as he was coming offstage. This is the picture that my bro took of us! Nice One... Fams!!!

Later this year in August, (not long after The Wailers), I went back with my sister to see Ziggy Marley play in Boston. He was promoting his new album Dragonfly, his first solo album.

Ziggy played for about 2 and a half hours, he played many of his father's tunes and all but the last two from his Dragonfly album along with many of his older songs. There was a great atmosphere.

The concert was a free outdoor event, which was probably why the wheelchair section was placed in such a bad position. It was plenty big enough for the 6 or so people with wheelchairs and had a small fence surrounding it, but sadly it was only about half a foot higher than the ground!

In front of us were at least five rows of people were standing - making it nearly impossible to see Ziggy who was only 20 to 30 feet in front of us; especially for the last hour or so.

I wish that the people organising these events would put more thought into these things, but apart from the view, the concert was amazing!

This is a picture of my sister who went to the concert with me and above is one of the massive tour busses that Ziggy used.
