One of the great female soft rock icons graced the Bulmer’s Live stage at Leopardstown racecourse and yes it was the nostalgia trip that of-course it was going to be for everyone there, with tracks spanning her whole musical career on the setlist and each and everyone on them greeted with loud cheers and dancing, one could be mistaken that they were a teenager again and back in their local disco ( well those that were in their teens in the late 70s & 80s) as the crowd last night had a good all round mix of ages.
Not only did Bonnie play all the hits, but also played a number of well known covers and even threw in a tribute to the late great Tina Turner to finish out her set, before coming back for a two song encore which finished with the hugely successful ”Holding Out For A Hero” which had the crowd going wild.
