And then there was the bloke about 3 people from the front who stduiously pretended he wasn't there, just kept sending texts and (hilariously) trying to make calls. But what can you do?
Thought it was an OK gig, Leisureland is best suited to going swimming with your kids really so not an ideal venue.

As you may note, it looks very similar to Killarney’s, and it is shorter on paper but in actuality the same number of songs as Killarney’s show because they didn’t drop songs.
Last time I saw Moz sing at a leisure centre (with a swimming complex) was in Chester, England (the last show of the ’97 tour). It was definitely weird to witness Moz singing in what was essentially a gymnaesium with a rock-climbing wall off to the left of the stage. The sound in the Chester leisure centre was atrocious – too echoey.
Galway was no less weird and unsuitable, but at least there wasn’t a rock-climbing wall by the stage! When you enter through the main doors, the muggy chlorine-saturated air hits you like a blast of chemical warfare. I suppose Omagh will be the same, but I won’t have the pleasure. The Galway show was delightfully intimate (capacity of 1,000), but the stage, though deep, was so small that the REFUSAL emblazoned across the cigar-chomping, muscle-flexing sailor on the backdrop was obscured by the drum kit. The pre-show music was so distorted, especially with the bass, that many of us feared the sound throughout the night would be terrible and that Moz might strop off and cancel. Thank the stars, the bad sound was only during the pre-show music. As usual, I could not hear several things Moz said, probably because I was too close to the stage and because of my earplugs.
Morrissey greeted us by asking, “How are things in Connemara?” (with an Irish accent so that “things” came out sounding like “tings”). Moz initially wore a blazer or jacket that looked like he should be wearing an ascot with it; light blue shirt underneath with a tie – see the photos from the link that Cossy shared – and the frayed jeans. Strange get-up. He kept the blazer on for many songs until the shirt was saturated; he should’ve taken it off earlier! Th’lads in dark blue short-sleeved polos with grey trousers, very nice.
In the centre, right between the two monitors, a blonde security guard was posted. It was really funny when Mozzer whipped the mic cord around very wildly and it struck the back of her head. Arturo then advised her to stand off to house right. Perfect for me because then I had a brilliant, unobstructed view.
I won’t rehash the banter and events that others shared, but I feel the need to correct some ignorant person’s faulty recollection of a mic exchange. I may be a stupid cow, but I’m not Julia. I did NOT hand Moz a bottle of oil; it was a bottle of alcohol-based (antibacterial) hand sanitizer I got from recruiters at the City of Hope in Los Angeles. I gave it to him for prophylaxis because he is reservoir of communicable disease – some infected person shakes Mozzer’s hands, then he falls ill and/or spreads it to us when he shakes our hands. Also, he had been very stingy with the hand-shaking, so I wanted to encourage him to shake our hands fearlessly.
He asked me, “Do you have something nice to say?” Of course not. Whilst handing over the hand sanitizer I said, “If you happen to be in the mood to touch our hands or any other body parts, please use this for your sake and ours.” He put it in his pocket and like the last time I gave him the Wipe Away Your Sins (antibacterial) wipe – perfect for sinners on the go and convenient for use in confessionals, motels, and cars, he did not use it onstage. Instead he said, “What happens when you give other people the mic” and proceeded to wipe off the mic head as if I had been spitting all over it. Cock. But that’s par for the course.
The crowd in Galway was much more rowdy and pashernate than in Killarney. When Moz threw his shirt out during Lemme K Ya, the distracting scrum lasted all the way through Seasique. The crush and madness made it feel like a proper Moz gig. No successful stage invasion, but it wasn't for lack of trying
