Paolo Nutini goes to the ball - the Hunt Ball

Paolo Nutini has been recording at Grouse Lodge in Rosemount and spending some of his down time at some of the area's hotels and hostelries, including Bloomfield House Hotel for the Westmeath Hunt Ball on Saturday night. We hear he was also spotted at the Uisneach Inn and at Egan's in Moate during his few weeks in the Lake County.Nutini is just one of many famous artists who have used the facilities at Grouse Lodge - others include R.E.M., Michael Jackson, Paddy Casey, Gary Moore, The Hot House Flowers, Sharon Shannon, Westlife, Brian McFadden, Sinead O'Connor, and Shane MacGowan and the Popes.
