Yeh I've seen and chatted to many famous bands in Whelans when I worked there for a bit.

I've seen loads, oldest probably were The Zombies: Time of the Season etc..
Biggest bunch of stoner legends ever.

The Walsho

I was expecting something a little different.

Don1

have gone drinkin with Christie O'Conner Jnr. had a chat with Tony Fenton in person, embarrassed the crap out of Brian McFadden in front of his mates with some perfectly timed abuse. Also said hello to wee Daniel, and got in an argument with Joe Dolan.
Not one for getting star struck.

punchdrunk

Barney went out with me Granny back in the day!

saw tommy tiernan walkin down the street once. shouted " hey look its tommy tiernan" and walked away. regretted that. thought i saw the coronas walkin down the street once as well. i was right, saw them playin a gig about 2 hours later. got a couple of autograhs then. so it all worked out that time.

you should have checked his suitcase for sleeping-pill laced sweets.

He didn't have a suitcase. He was just standing there in the nip. With his dog.

Reminds me of a story involving my friend and Hector O'Heochagain. Myself and a few friends were drinking in a pub in the IFSC. Lone behold Hector comes down the stairs. My friend shouts "Ah it's Hector!" and beckons him over to shake hands. What happens next is legendary...... Just as he was putting his hand out to shake hands, my friend puts his hand up to his face, thumb to his nose and goes "Aha aha" while wiggling his fingers. Hector walks away laughing and the rest of us just fall around the place laughing. Funny moment

Met Brian O'Driscoll on the street a few years ago. Got an autograph.

Also met JFK of MSTRKRFT last Sunday and Alex Ridha (aka Boys Noize) last night. I know nobody's probably never heard of them but I'm a huge fan of their music!

Saw Christian Bale once in Wicklow during a film shoot... didn't get to meet him though.

Also met Christopher Mintz-Plasse (aka McLovin!) and Jonah Hill.
