Live at the Marquee review: Lightnin' Rod Stewart brings thunder back to 'the old tent'

The Status Orange weather alert could well have applied to Cork's Marina as the veteran rocker brought the thunder on the first of his two nights at the Marquee

There may have been a status orange warning for thunder across the country last night, but the loudest rumbles heard down by the Marina in Cork were all caused by Rod. As thousands made their way down to the blue and yellow tent, lightning flashed and thunder rolled, but it was nothing compared to the night of rock‘n’roll ahead.

Singer Rod Stewart played the first of two sold-out nights at Live at the Marquee and attracted an enthusiastic audience of all ages keen to hear hit after hit from the iconic star.
