Ian Ball and Ben Ottewell / Buddy –  The Total Gomez Recall tour, live gallery & review from The Academy Dublin 12.03.2025

Ian Ball and Ben Ottewell are out on the road throughout March with a number of Irish dates before head back to the UK, the guys are tour the back catalogue of Gomez and judging by last night the diehard fans that were in attendance are loving it.
The guys are braving the stage just the two of them and the songs are still sound as good as they ever did with the guys taking turns on vocal duties.

The night may have started of a little slow as support guest Buddy took to the stage but as his set progressed the room started to fill a little and by the time the main act came to the stage there was a nice crowd in the room making for a great singalong and the fans sang every word of every song back.
Incidentally Buddy was joined on stage at times by Ian Ball and Buddy returned the favour during the guys set joining them on stage for ‘Limited Vibes’.
