Generally I am not interested in autobiographies, but this is one that I definitely want to read.
The man played at my 40th birthday party, after all. I feel I owe him…
Got a signed copy last week, shame they never made it outside of Ireland, they were a brilliant live band in the late 80’s.
On a side note, Joe Jewell lives up near me –
saw him in a garage a few weeks ago in a fleece, tracksuit bottoms and crocs.
Rock and roll or wha’!
They were a brilliant band in the Noughties, too :)
Don’t disagree with you but when they were young and raw around the time of the first album they had an amazing energy, I think the setbacks and playing a relatively limited circuit knocked that out of them.
Sorry to say, but I saw them live at Groove a few years ago, Christy could not hold a note or a rhythm, the band were constantly changing beat to try to stay with him… I really felt they should have given up the circut before then.
I never liked Aslan, always thought they were a second rate pop rock band. Christy as someone who came back from addiction and serious health problems has always kept the interest alive in this band. It’s just my opinion but I found they’re music boring compared with other bands. I understand that were a small country and ‘Irish’ music is elevated to support and encourage it…I always found this patronising.
As if we didn’t know everything about Christy already. Sick hearing his relentless references to his drug addiction. The band play every pub in the country 364 days of the year and have about 3 decent songs. The man gets more time on the Late Late than Ryan Tubridy. Enough already! There, I said it.
Ironic username in the circumstances.
Worth a look.
Any mention of Mrs. Ryan and the Gerry moment and the subsequent break up.. just asking for a friend..
Someone rolled back the rock on the third day I suppose.
