The Wild Murphys bring Dirty Old Town to Fairfield Halls
One Night In Dublin is the ultimate feel-good Irish music tribute show and it’s headed to Croydon’s Fairfield Halls on Thursday May 23.
Dirty old town…: the cast from On Night In Dublin
Performed live by “the best Irish band to never come from Ireland”, The Wild Murphys are a six-piece band with fiddle, accordion, authentic Irish dancers and a whole lot of craic!
With songs by The Pogues, The…
The title track from Miles Kane’s fifth studio album seems to express a sense of dedication and commitment from Miles towards another. The lyrics suggest a strong desire to provide support and light in someone’s life, even when feeling like they’ve lost everything. Miles seems as a sole performer, a “one-man band,” willing to go to great lengths to bring brightness and positivity into the other person’s life, symbolized by singing about brighter days and keeping the darkness away. There’s a theme of loneliness mixed with determination and a plea for recognition, asking to be heard and acknowledged for the effort put into being there for someone else (source: genius, one man band lyrics)
Miles during the monkeys gig this pic is from 505 where Alex kept on looking over
He was literally pointing up at the mirrorball at looking up at it for like a solid 10 seconds after come closer
Don’t forget who you are it was so magical (also that turtle plushie behind him 🫠🫠)
Alright crazy things that happened (the ones I can currently recall and in now specific order):
-Nathan dropping his pick and Miles laughing at him
- Liam’s drum kit wasn’t fixed up correctly so his hi hat (I think) like turner 90 degrees and a stage hand had to rush and try and fix it during a song and before the next one miles just jammed out a bit and improvised to give the guy more time to properly fix it
-Miles pointing and looking up at the mirrorball for like solid 10 seconds after come closer
- seeing those chairs and music stands in the back knowing we’re gonna get strings
-after singing the last line of fluorescent adolescent “remember when you used to be a rascal” and then fucking pointing and staring at Miles who was standing to the left side of the stage (which also explains why Alex was suddenly so fond of the left side (also during I wanna be yours I sometimes had to play find Alex cause he was just casually chilling at the very edge of the left stage side like mate at this point just walk down to him )instead of right as usual to jam with Jamie right where the stairs led up to the stage so he was the first one to greet the guys once they went off before the encore and after the show(to smother Alex in a big hug))and watched their set and asking “do you remember?” Before himself answering like 2 seconds latter with “I remember” but like in such a small sad voice that it nearly broke me

Like here’s the entire performance you can hear and see it at 3:13 (I’ve only got the little I remember snippet cause I was screaming my head off)
- when Alex said “let’s hear it for Miles Kane” (some say he said wonderful after we screamed our throat raw) somewhere three quarters through the set we all exploded before realizing he was just thanking him for opening and then played fluorescent adolescent where at the end (check point above) he asked miles if he remembered when he used to be a rascal (and like the fact that Miles was in the band the rascal and Alex wrote Fluorescent with his ex Johanna Bennett around the time when him and Miles started becoming close friends)
- during body paint not Alex singing “and if you’re thinking of me I’m probably thinking of you” while adamantly pointing towards Miles
- I didn’t think it possible to get I wanna be yours x star treatment cause they did it the night before In Belfast but when that little shit said “I don’t wanna be hers I wanna be yours” I certainly lost my shit
