In Photos: David Kitt Performs The Big Romance + Sunken Foal @ Vicar Street, Dublin (09.12.11)

It just about snuck into our Top 100 Albums of The 2000s list a couple of years back, and last month David Kitt gave his much-loved The Big Romance LP a well-deserved ten-year anniversary outing at Dublin's Vicar Street. We know we weren't the only ones to be suddenly reminded of our advancing years upon realising that, yes, it really has been that long since this bedsit classic first graced our ears (we're pretty sure we still have our original MiniDisc copy lying around here somewhere!); but perhaps the most striking thing about this most cosily nostalgic of gigs was just how much of the album's fragile beauty and unforced charm remains solidly intact a decade on. A testament to Kittser's songwriting skill and melodic nous if ever there was one.

The man himself was joined onstage by a revolving cast of close friends and collaborators old and new from across the Irish indie scene, including bass-heavy support act Sunken Foal.
