THESE CHARMING MEN PLAY TRIBUTE TO THE SMITHS & MORRISSEY
TEMPLE BAR MUSIC CENTRE
11th March 2006
7:30pm

These Charming Men have become regular favourites at the Temple Bar Music Centre. They return for a gig on the 11th of March 2006. The band has been playing the music of The Smiths and Morrissey for over ten years now. With uncanny similarities and superb live performances the Dublin four piece has gone from strength to strength, playing sell-out gigs throughout Ireland and headlining The Smiths/Morrissey Convention in LA four years running.

In 2004, the band headlined the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, playing to their biggest crowd to date, some 35,000 people.

Lee Brady (vocals) and Gavin Murphy (guitar) met through their obsessive collection of any Smiths music they could get their hands on. Both frequented a bootlegger shop in Dublin’s Liffey Street where they finally met in 1989. Gavin’s brother came on board to play bass and Paul Byrne completed the group on drums.

When asked what Morrissey thinks of the band, Brady reports; “He's quiet impressed really. We gave him a CD of T.C.M. with four live 'Smiths' songs and one 'Morrissey' song recorded in Dublin and he was visibly thrilled.”

Morrissey: "I'm very impressed and flattered by what they do"

Andy Rourke: "Spooky, spot on"

Don’t miss These Charming Men play the Temple Bar Music Centre on 11th March. Doors open at 7:30pm. Tickets cost €14 and are available from www.tickets.ie, City Discs & Sound Cellar.

see you there.

The singer was replaced a year or so ago, so i guess that 1989 piece is out of date.
