T h e cast was im p r e s s i v e , though, par ticularly Fiona O'Sullivan as the prostitute. David Chapman s Steve was well directed in his use of props and gestures, but his facial expression left a little to be desired. Damian O'Brien round ed off the evening with a presentation of Micheal MacLaimmoir's monologue, " T h e Impor tance of Being Oscar". The most enjoyable parts were, inevitably, extracts from " T h e Importance of Being E a r n e s t " . T h e delivery was generally q u i t e g o o d , although touches of a Cork accent intruded occasionally.

Paul Brady told the crowd at Leisureland on Saturday night, 'You 're the most timid Galway audience I've ever played to.' The capacity crowd's reply to that would pro bably have been that many of them were seasoned fans, long past their stand-up-andshout days -but not past appreciating Brady's satisfying performance. Not a bad strategy splitting the gig: a solo set followed by the new band. These reference points helped us to situate the Tyrone man in the musical spectrum - just about everywhere. The com fortably seated audience perhaps reflected Brady's current outlook. It's been a long haul, and the formula the former Johnston has found since 'Hard Station' is not a bad resting place from where to plot future directions. So, we enjoyed a more stylised than usual version of 'The Lakes', a 'Hard Station' which seemed to be a lot of fun for the band, a 'Nobody Knows' which was a faithful reproduction of the album version - and finally the tried and trusted encore sequence of 'The Island' and "The Homes'. .
