Christy Moore playing for and being accompanied by the Ireland rugby team (not enough is made of how weird it is that all through the troubles, Ireland had a rugby team, and people somehow didn't find that mental) is a gig I'd like to have been at.
Donccha O'Callaghan has the most Irish name on earth (what is it about rugby that produces such pure national-stereotype names - 6 of the Welsh are called Jones, and the French have a splendid collection from Harinordoquy to Tillous-Borde to Trinh-Duc to Jauzion).
Ronan O'Gara also sang.
