Waterford boy says he's 'luckiest guy in the world' after performing with The Script
A 13-YEAR-OLD BOY who joined his favourite band The Script live on stage has said the experience was a dream come true. Charlie Comerford from Dunhill, Waterford, said he could not believe his luck when the band's frontman, Danny O'Donoghue, invited him on stage at Thomond Park, Limerick, during the finale of The Script's Satellites Tour in Ireland, last Saturday night. Speaking for the first time about it, Charlie said: 'I thought I was the luckiest guy in the whole world, because there was 28,000 people there and out of the 28,000 people (Danny) picked me.' Charlie said music does what it should do for everyone, and soothes his soul whenever he feels down: 'Whenever I feel a little bad or any emotions at all, I go to my room and listen to (The Script).' Recalling the moment that O'Donoghue spotted him in the crowd and invited him to perform with the band on stage, Charlie said: 'Danny kind of noticed me three times, he high five'd me twice and brought me up on stage (the third time) and I just felt so lucky because they are my favourite band in the whole world,' he told radio station Live 95FM. To top it all off, Charlie ended the night singing a duet with O'Donoghue and band, and even pressed the final note on O'Donoghue's piano to finish the tune. 'We sang 'Never Seen Anything- Quiet Like You' and oh my God…,' said Charlie enthralled. Asked if he had been nervous up on stage in front of thousands of Script fans, Charlie replied: 'Maybe a little nervous, but I felt very excited because it's not very often you go in front of 28,000 people with your favourite (singer) ever.' 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' is his favourite Script song, 'because it's just a classic.' 'It actually wasn't very loud on stage, it's louder when you're down in the crowd,' he added.
