Como Foi o NYF DUBLIN - How Was NYF DUBLIN
No último post do ano passado a gente sugeriu algumas opções para o Réveillon e uma delas era o New Year Festival de Dublin, evento com 3 dias de duração e com uma programação muito variada.
On the last post of the year we suggested some options for New Year's, and one of them was the New Year Festival de Dublin, 3 day event with a varied agenda.
We have gone to some of these events, and of course we are showing you everything now.
These balloons were distributed for those who participated on the NY Festival.ARTS & MUSIC TRAIL
Free Artistic and musical presentations in several places around the city.Artistas de Rua / Street Performers
Irish Dance (I don't know how these girls didn't freeze, temperatures were below zero at this moment).
And of course loads of music - on the street, in the post office and on the tourist office.LUMINOSITY
3D projections in a central building in Dublin. Very beautiful, but it lasted just a few minutes.PROCESSION OF LIGHT
This procession had the participation of hundreds and hundreds of people. Candles were distributed for the population that followed some artists.NEW YEAR'S EVE STREET FEST
The stage was assembled next to Luminosity. Rain and cold were intense. It was not the best day for a street show.WORLD RECORD BODHRÁN - SESSION ATTEMPT
Irish people love Records, and here the objective was to gather the biggest amount of people playing bodhrán (typical Irish instrument). During the day this huge Bodhrán was placed in the city centre so people could get into the mood.
And on this stall details were given for participating. The objective was reached! 1,500 people were present with their bodhráns. Previous record was 900 people.THREE COUNTDOWN CONCERT
The show was one of the great moments on the Festival. We bought the tickets on the day sales were opened, and there were just a few places left. It was at 3 Arena, which we had never been before. We are not used to go to mega shows like this, so we were a bit afraid of facing huge queues, pushings and this sort of things of in big shows. Fortunately there was nothing like that. Everything was totally calm, with no queues. A great evening!The first to present was the duet Little Hours.
After we had the band Kíla, who mixed traditional Irish music with rock in an impressive way.
Ryan Sheridan is an old acquaintance for those who follow the blog, we have done a post about him (here) and we went to one of Ryan's show here in Cork.
Fatboy Slim is a fantastic British Dj. He honored Brazil playing some samba beats with electronic music.
The grand finale were The Coronas. This quartet is making a huge success and the 3 Arena got really excited with this amazing show.
At midnight there was the countdown and a lot of confetti.
The show lasted more than 5 hours. It was an unforgetful night. As a good New Year's Even need to be.
On the first day of the year there was also a varied agenda, we even considered running a 5K race. But the day was awful! Strong rain and wind during the whole day.HANDEL'S MESSIAH
The performance Messiah de Handel was going to be outdoors! Of course due to the bad weather conditions it was not going to be possible. So the pace was changed to the Abbey - Findlater's Presbyterian Church, which is close to where the event was going to happen originally.
NYF Dublin was incredible, with a varied agenda and very well organized. Weather didn't help much, but it is OK, we are in Ireland!
