Beautiful Belfast
It seems so long ago now (sorry for the delay in getting this up), the Wednesday before Christmas might have been your office Christmas party, but for myself, John from OxfamIreland, 20 wonderful volunteers, and about 10,000 excited fans, Wednesday meant only one thing: Coldplay! It was the last night of the UK leg of the Twisted Logic Tour, and it was always going to be a big one. You could feel the excitement in the air, and the Belfast crowd did not let us down. And of course, neither did Chris, Jonny, Will or Guy.
It was a great way to end an incredible few months. The volunteer campaigners were great, and despite the almost Arctic conditions, got to work as soon as the briefing was over. They were so keen, in fact, that they braved the Belfast night, with just a Make Trade Fair T-shirt (available to buy here by the way) to protect against the cold, to work the long queue outside the Odyssey venue. Now that's commitment!
I'm not sure of the exact final total, but it was around the 1,800 mark (nearly 20% of the total audience...incredible!). And once we got past the over-officious security people (when are security people not over-officious!), the volunteers were able to enjoy Coldplay at their majestic best. Thanks to everyone in Belfast for your efforts.
I've tried to download the photos that I took on the night, but unfortunately there's some kind of error so they've not come out (don't ask...me and technical gadgets don't mix!). So sorry about that.
I hope you've all had a very Merry Christmas.
