David Gray review: Birthday wishes and Bowie tunes for brilliant gig at Musgrave Park

The Cork gig felt like a sort of homecoming for David Gray as faves from White Ladder were augmented by some well-chosen covers

Perhaps it's fitting that David Gray comes out wearing a white suit for his Saturday night gig in Cork. "To the brave and faithful, nothing is impossible!" declares Gray, reading the call to arms along the Musgrave Park stands.

And for a while on Saturday night it seems like nothing is impossible. Belting out 'Please Forgive Me', the opening track on White Ladder, Gray manages to transport us back more than two decades, to what we now know were simpler times.
