Thats the worst news i have heard in a long while. I have great memories of seeing him in the lobby and vicar street. Cant believe he was only 45.

Went to see him in Galway about the the time of "Is the actor happy" album. Only knew one song "Drunk". One of the best gigs. He was so funny. And after pushing him he played drunk.

A true original. Off with Stevie Smith. May he rest in piece.
