Never met him but some of the stories make him out as a right headcase!

Oh god. That names brings back memories.

He was very good friends with my best friends family in Dublin when I was smaller (14 or 15 I think). He frightened the bejaysus out of me. Mad as a brush he is. I remember he used to get up at mad hours in the morning (3 & 4am) cooking big fry ups for himself and banging around in the kitchen.

He also came to play in my parents pub (about 10 years ago). He was telling one of his stories and someone started talking in the middle of it and he went completely bonkers altogether.

The man terrified me.

I saw the man in a session in Taafes in Galway a few years back and he terrified me with all his shouting and roaring and his big red face, even though I was only listening at the bar. There was no doubting who was boss of the session :eek: Musicians seemed to enjoy it though.. in a strange masochistic kind of way

He joined a gig of mine recently and was grand. He talked a fair bit alright but didn't try to take over, played great and sang a couple of songs.
