While Garthmania continues unabated up and down the country ahead of his second weekend of gigs at Croke Park, dedicated fans have been making sightings of country-rock superstar Garth Brooks.

After a visit to Wicklow's Glendalough Valley, the 'Thunder Road' star decamped to Dingle, where he, country singer Trisha Yearwood and crew are based for the week. The star popped into local pub Dick Mack's for a singalong.

Staying in the Co. Kerry town, Brooks and Yearwood also popped into John Weldon's jewellers for a look at some of the stock, and a chat with the staff, who described it as "a lovely visit".

The inevitable Garthwatch seems set to continue across social media ahead of this weekend's sold-out gigs, back at Croker in Dublin, as the singer finally finishes a run of big gigs that has been years in the making, and the source of controversy after 2014 cancellations.
