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.

Charlie said he 'hopes' that rock stardom may yet be written in his own future stars. His mother, who accompanied him at the concert told this reporter: 'It was just unreal, Charlie is such a huge fan of The Script.'

'The Script became an obsession, he just loves listening to their music, and he loves singing.' 'He kind of likes alternative music as well as pop music – he wants to wrote songs, he's that much into it, and so, for that to happen for him is just great.'

WATCH: Young fan's unforgettable moment as he performs on stage with The Script
A young music fan had the night of his dreams on Saturday when he got to perform on stage alongside his favourite band, The Script, in Limerick. Young 'Charlie', charmed the crowd as he sang and helped perform a little piano piece alongside his musical hero and The Script frontman, Danny O'Donoghue, on stage at Thomond Park. O'Donoghue told the crowd at the band's only Irish date on their Satellites tour that he picked Charlie out of the masses after the lad caught his eye dressed in a Satellites Tour t-shirt and a Script bucket hat and waving a giant flag of the Irish pop-rock band. Charlie performed a duet with O'Donoghue and the band on a mini circular stage located in the middle of the heaving crowd during a version of the band's ballad, Never Seen Anything - 'Quite Like You'. 'Everybody give it up for Charlie,' O'Donoghue screamed as he invited the boy to join him on stage. Young Charlie warmed the heart of O'Donoghue and the crowd when he pointed at the singer and sang: 'I've never seen anything quite like you tonight.' O'Donoghue returned the favour and said: 'I've never seen anything quite like Charlie tonight.' 'Deadly', beamed O'Donoghue after the boy hit the final note on the singer's piano to bring the Thomond theatre to its feet. 'They're all singing your name, bro,' the frontman said as the crowd chanted: 'Charlie… Charlie… Charlie." O'Donoghue and the band rocked a sun-drenched Limerick with their anthem pop-rock, including hits such as Hall of Fame, The Man Who Can't Be Moved and Superheroes. With Limerick recently used to winning senior hurling All-Irelands - five in the past eight years - The Script concert, at one point, was akin to another All-Ireland Final after-party as the band's light show shrouded fans in green and white during the group's storming Irish rock anthem Paint The Town Green. On a glorious summer night, it all went to script. The Irish Mirror's Crime Writers Michael O'Toole and Paul Healy are writing a new weekly newsletter called Crime Ireland.
