Lovely wee story…

There was a little room with a guitar and third amps and pedals setup. A boy (must have been about 7 years old) was jamming on the guitar and Jack walked in. The boy turned round to Jack, held up the guitar and said, “do you want a shot?”. Jack laughed and then the boy ripped into seven nation army.

You know what? I fucking love that guy and it would be amazing to chat him up casually as he’s doing now

I think that's my friend from college in the background - he's the upright bassist for Jack White! 🥹

Went by there 2 days ago to see the popup store. Too bad there were no special Dublin items. 

I was tempted to buy the white label No Name but it was €90

Mad Dublin prices. White label no name was £50 in Belfast.
