THREAD: The day Coolio came to Waterford. The year was 2007. I was working as a PR &Marketing Manager for the Tweedy Group of Bars in Waterford. I noticed that the Grammy Award winner as playing in Dublin on a Monday night so asked his management team if he might pop to the deise
They agreed and if I remember correctly, we agreed on a figure of €1500 + accommodation, travel and a rider. His rider was a bottle of Grey Goose vodka, a tray of sandwiches and a fridge full of bottled water.
