A SMALL re-union is going on in the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre. Never mind Eden Park, the new clothes shop. Check out members of former boyband Lorenzo and the Renaissance. But Timothy O'Reilly has left that scene behind him. He's an accountant now, he quips, and no longer lead singer in Craig Doyle's band.
Craig, the man who stepped into Jill Dando's shoes on BBC1's Holiday Programme earlier this year, is here too. A Dubliner, he recalls their teenage rock band.
His current calling? "It's quite nerve-wracking," he says but he's especially grateful for the support he has had so far from the public, in particular from the Irish public. And he's still based in his home town. His girlfiend, Doon Hutson, nods confirmation of all this.
As to the Eden Park range, rugby commentator Brent Pope, from New Zealand, says the clothes are great: "It's lovely stuff." But Aidan Doyle, a manager at the Burlington Hotel, thinks "it's more for my son's generation, the Club Anabel crowd."
