I was chuffed to be asked back by Dagogo and Samuel for Talkatives, which took place in The Project Arts Centre in Temple Bar. My niece was over for the Easter weekend, and she brought two of her friends. It was lovely to have them cheering me on.
When I arrived the inimitable Emmet ‘O Brien, renowned poet, and MC brought me into the green room.
- I said, Green Room?
- Yes, He said.
I thought he was taking the mickey, but there I was, brought into the Green Room.
- If I knew I would be in the green room I would have sent in my rider, I proffered to Emmet. He smiled and went about the business of organising the lineup of performances for the evening. BTW, my rider is…………Ah, I’ll keep you in suspenders until the end of my rider blogs.
I was on my own for a few minutes before the other girls arrived, and I began to think of what my rider would be. Over the years, I always enjoy hearing of the most ridiculous riders that some of the more divaesque and King-like performers request. Here are some
- Van Halen – No Brown M&Ms. …
- Beyoncé – Titanium Straws & Hand-Carved Ice Balls. …
- Kanye West – CYLINDRICAL VASES Only. …
- Rihanna – A Plush Animal Print Rug. …
- Drake – Always a Dozen Incense Sticks Burning. …
- Adele – The Marlboro & Gum Rule.
Over the next few blogs, I shall have some fun sharing some of the most ridiculous riders, where fiction reigns supreme.
You have been warned.
Stay fab
Adele
