At 17:59 on 22nd September international acts including The Stereophonics, Scissors Sisters, Calvin Harris, The Saturdays, Paolo Nutini and Kelis as well as home-grown talent Bell X 1, Royseven, The Divine Comedy, Bressie and Ryan Sheridan took to stages in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Belfast followed by a surprise intimate pub gigs. We were at the Hopstore 13 to shoot the red carpet and see Paulo Nutini kick things off in front of a sell out crowd. He’s got some brilliant sing-along tunes and the sold-out crowd loved him. We had to grab a cab soon after Paulo’s performance to O’Donoghues on Merrion Row where we caught Bell X1′s surprise gig. The place was jammed and the crowd sang along throughout the entire set. All funds raised on the day go the Arthur Guinness FTo Arthur!
