We need some time apart

It passed most people by at the time, but apparently Ray Davies was in Dublin a few weeks back.

Davies was the lead singer and chief songwriter with The Kinks during the Swinging Sixties and the geezer who climbed out of the black cab during the closing ceremony at the London Olympics to serenade his home town with his classic number ‘Waterloo Sunset’

Anyway, for some strange reason known to very few people, poor old Ray was booked to play at the O2 which, despite the fact that it was set up in what the marketing mooks like to call its ‘intimate venue’ format, seemed an odd choice long before he flew in just over three weeks ago.
