Goosebumps.
You don't sell out five nights at Vicar Street unless you're good, and Bell X1 proved just how magical a band they can be with an unforgettable turn on Friday night's Late Late Show.
Frontman Paul Noonan is currently enjoying a great run of form, having teamed up with electronic producer Daithí for the spellbinding
'Take The Wheel' in July, and delivering
a recent solo single that ably showcased his range.
But you can't argue with a classic, and so it was that Noonan and bandmates - and a string section for good measure - took to the Late Late stage with a heart-stopping version of 'Rocky Took a Lover'.
Take the five minutes or so and check it out below.

Really special stuff. As you might expect, social media was suitably impressed following the performance...
