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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rVto6amGA8 Clip via The Late Late Show Really special stuff. As you might expect, social media was suitably impressed following the performance... https://twitter.com/NadineORegan/status/1055948943098630145 https://twitter.com/TPOEblog/status/1055966353851670529 https://twitter.com/enabrennan/status/1056136687317909504 https://twitter.com/PaddyMcKenna/status/1056172026560417798
