For the musicians, though, it was all a great triumph. Dubliner Phil Chevron who now plays guitar with the Pogues, reflected on the tremendous advances that Irish music has made in the past 10 years. | For the musicians, though, it was all a great triumph.

The Pogues and Elvis Costello both put in fine performances. Backed with the Attractions again, Elvis summed up the goodwill of the evening with an inspired version of Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers To Cross." And as he came to the end of "Pump It Up," he cheekily stole into Van Morrison's "Gloria" — only minutes before the man himself was due to go on stage. | The Pogues and Elvis Costello both put in fine performances.

Van disappointed everyone when he announced he was to preview new material tonight. "Thanks For Information" was more of what we have come to expect by now: those distinctive brass arrangements and that gruff, rasping voice that wrings out emotions which your Kevin Rowlands and Mike Scotts can only dream about. Van's pioneering days might be over, but he still chugs along admirably. | Van disappointed everyone when he announced he was to preview new material tonight.

Billed as "the best live band in the world," U2 have more recently become the most predictable live band in the world. Imagine the surprise, then, on hearing the rockabilly grind of Eddie Cochran's "Something Else." Surprising, yet heartening, too, that they can still break the mould when they want to. More of this, please! | Billed as "the best live band in the world," U2 have more recently become the most predictable live band in the world.
