Live music: Albert Hammond - Triskel Christchurch, Cork
When God created Albert Hammond for us, he must have been in a beautiful mood. Unquestionably one of the world’s greatest living songwriters, he is also a born entertainer, up there with Joe Dolan, Julio Iglesias, Roy Orbison, Willie Nelson, Neil Diamond and all the others who recorded his songs.
In fine voice and backed by a powerful band that clearly gets what this tour is about, he wowed us with songs like ‘Make Me An Island’, ‘Good Looking Woman’ and ‘99 Miles From LA’. My favourite was ‘All I Need Is the Air That I Breathe’.
