Forbidden Fruit – Day 3
Photos: Bríd O’Donovan The sun is out. I knew having James Vincent McMorrow on the bill would help Forbidden Fruit stave away the rain. McMorrow took to the stage at 8pm on this bank holiday Monday and it was just a glorious set. The sun was going down to the left of the stage, McMorrow...
