There may not be tay
A memorial concert for journalist, broadcaster and notoriously tough music critic George ‘Ringo’ Byrne, who died last month at 57.
Featuring his very few favourite Irish bands and musicians.

Everything. As It Happens.
Ah sure you’d have to
Surely a sneaky A House reunion on the cards here too?
Yes please!
It’s very easy to be notoriously tough when you’re stuck at a keyboard. All music critics are failed musical artists, as George himself was.
Said the bloke at the keyboard.
Just because someone doesn’t pursue a career in playing music it doesn’t make them “failed”.
Exactly. Some people consider Westlife a success.
Shane Filan’s accountant?
So, Eamonn, I take it you were in a band that Ringo didn’t like then ?
Sporting of you to slag him off, now that he’s dead …
My favourite line of his (of many) was:
“we find the protaganists puffing and wheezing their way through the gates of the asylum for the terminally untalented”.
His band – Autobop – may not have scaled the dizzy heights that you have (right? yes? yes??)
but he had f**king writing talent in bucket loads.
That’s for sure. A lot more than eamonn as he was actually funny not a tedious broken record
So… if I dont like a movie and write my thoughts down… does that make me a failed actor/film-maker???
Christ
That’s going ta’fester now
What does it make me…..
