5,000 people attended last night's concert.
Festival and live event promoters hope last night's Tom Jones concert in Belfast can act as a blueprint to get similar gigs going in the Republic again.
Five thousand people attended the gig at Custom House Square, and everyone needing to test negative for COVID-19 or be fully vaccinated.
These people were happy for some normality to resume

Event promoter Shane Dunne says the sector already needed strong health and safety protocols even before the pandemic
