Last Friday’s The Late Late Show on RTE One with Ian Dowling (above and top left)
Come for the corkscrew curls.
Stay for the excellent ‘finds’.

If you happened to be watching ‘The Late Late Show’ on Friday you may remember me as the Man with the Lockdown Hair.
I also appeared to display some finds (ie. whiskey vending machine, front doors of Bewley’s, Tivoli sign, etc.) and plug the first series of the TV show ‘Irish Pickers’. Ryan is a big supporter of the show.
It is essentially a road trip around Ireland in the search for quirky old items that tell the story of Ireland’s past. It is available to view on Sky on Demand and NOW TV. I believe it is good escapism TV for the current climate and something Broadsheet readers might enjoy….
Watch ‘Irish Pickers’ here
Now, *that’s* a 20th Century boy.
Needs more BP Fallon on backing vocals and congas

That’s brilliant….
Gotta love Beep, the aul chancer.
The show is an good idea nobody thought to think through, saved in part by his performance, but only in part.. could have clicked but didn’t..
He looks like he should be presenting an Open University physics module on BBC2 in 1980.
thats exactly the hair my brother had studying physics ?
*!
Too many days spent rubbing the old Van der Graaff generator.
would that explain the hairy hands too
Think it’s called the ‘killer queen.’
is it a homage with too much fromage to …Greta Van Fleet — vocalist Josh Kiszka’s look….who’s band is constantly slagged for ripping off zep…:)

No lockdown hair on Stick Insect though.
Watched it once, did not like the way he ripped people off at all, I’ll stick to the US version where fair prices are paid
