Do look back in anger at bucket hats

AT times last weekend in Dublin felt like living in some parallel “Oasis Christmas” universe.

- 

The band's tunes were booming out from every shop, car and pub in the city, earning the kind of royalties that would make Shane MacGowan blush in his grave.

Although it might be more accurately described as “Oasis Halloween” than Christmas.

It seemed to be not just a show but a massive fancy dress event.

OBLIGATORY

Wearing a bucket hat was deemed obligatory for every concertgoer aged from nine to 90.
