The Crowd went wild at the World Famous , on set up on the Georges Dock for Dublins 13th Annual Fringe Festival.

Then the spetacular entertainment at the World Famous  kept the party goers dancing till they dropped to the sounds of Red, Hot & Brass with the first ever Brass Band Club night with Fanfara from the hills of Romania a revolutionary fusion of tradition marching music repertoire with hip hop, jazz and funk styles and the sound of Blasmusik by 11-piece Beat ‘n’ Blow from Germany. 
The crown just went mental dancing in every dance style one could dream up, stampinmg their feet and yelling when the music stopped after each performance for more... they just could not get enough........

Pavarotti tributes pour in

Tributes are flowing for legendary opera singer Luciano Pavarotti, who died earlier today in Italy after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Acclaimed as the greatest tenor of his generation, many former opera singers have lauded the 71-year-old for his outstanding career including performances in Australia. The former artistic director of the Australian Opera, Moffat Oxenbould, says Pavarotti will always be fondly remembered for his performances with soprano Dame Joan Sutherland in Australia. "He was always very complimentary particularly to Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge for that 1965 experience because ... he always used to say that he learnt how to breathe from Dame Joan in that season," he said. "He used to say 'I put my hand on her diaphragm'. He always used to say in so many interviews throughout his career he said that time was very special to him."

Great voice in history

Dame Joan hailed Pavarotti as one of the great voices in the history of opera. She performed operas including La Traviata and Turandot with Pavarotti, telling BBC radio there was "no question" he ranked among opera's greats. "I'm very sorry to hear he's gone, God bless," she said. "It was incredible to stand next to it and sing along with it," the 80-year-old Australian star nicknamed "La Stupenda" said. "The quality of the sound was quite different - you knew immediately it was Luciano singing." She added she had seen Pavarotti recently and he was "not the same person at all". Retired Australian opera singer Donald Shanks says Pavarotti was a master of his craft. "He had something very, very special about the timbre and the tone of the voice and he was such a larger than life character that it shone through in what he did with his voice," he said. The great tenor passed at his home in Modena, the city of his birth, with his wife, Nicoletta; his daughters, Lorenza, Cristina, Giuliana and Alice as well other friends and family by his side. In fitting with the approach that characterised his life and work, the maestro remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of his illness.

Legacy

London's Royal Opera House issued a statement hailing Pavarotti as "one of the finest singers of our time". "He was one of those rare artists who affected the lives of people across the globe in all walks of life," it said. "Through his countless broadcasts, recordings and concerts he introduced the extraordinary power of opera to people who perhaps would never have encountered opera and classical singing, in doing so he enriched their lives - that will be his legacy." "He had a unique ability to touch people with the emotional and brilliant quality of his voice. He was a man with the common touch and the most extraordinary gift. He will be truly missed by millions." British tenor Russell Watson told ITV television that Pavarotti had "without question" brought opera to a wider audience. "He was a complete tour de force, he was incredible, he lived life to the full," he said. "He was a big football fan, a real fanatic. Above and beyond all else, he had an incredible voice.

Funeral

Mayor of Modena, Giorgio Pighi, says the funeral for the opera singer might be held on Saturday. "Pavarotti wanted to die at home. I saw him last week. He was very worn by the illness but he wanted to make conversation. We even spoke in the local dialect," the mayor said. Pighi honoured Pavarotti as "a person of unequalled genius".
