Nooooo...... The new stuff he was doing with Telefis was brilliant. Never got to see Microdisney unfortunately, but had the pleasure of seeing Fatima Mansions and Cathal solo several times. Such a range from bile inflected howling one minute to the sweetest melody the next RIP :-(

Best quote : "We [Fatima Mansions] toured America supporting Weezer. They were obviously a better band than us as the crowd spent our set chanting 'Weezer.... Weezer... You suck'"

absolutely gutted. Have become a big fan over the last few years and got to see Microdisney live in Vicar st.

Really felt like he was finally getting his dues and recognition for his talent. Condolences to his family and friends.

Just posted this in the alternative and indie forum. Great singer. I got to see Microdisney at the NCH in 2018 and again in Vicar St in 2019. Two great gigs. Shocked and saddened. RIP.
