A pretend meeting between Dublin's Caithríona Madden and the Burnaby-raised singer turned into a real-life dinner together, and, years later, spurred a holiday tune.
The year was 2013. It was dinnertime in Dublin, Ireland, and Caithríona Madden made a meal for two — for her and Michael Bublé.A major Bublé fan for over 20 years, Madden made pretend-dinner for a life-size cutout of the Burnaby-raised singer while her friend snapped photographs of them together – in the kitchen, in the living room and on the couch.Months later, as fate would have it, Bublé played a show in Dublin.
So Madden was invited backstage for two hours before concert, where she had dinner with her idol and his band in the canteen. That dinner with Bublé "was fantastic," she said, of the once-in-a-lifetime experience. "And the beginning of my song was inspired by him." Her Christmas song, 'What We Need This Christmas,' is Madden's debut and was recorded with 20 local children. The song, which teases her Bublé connection, is all about love and kindness, she said.
