The drums of the faithful are ringing out across the brandywell stadium as we head back to the coach after a marvellous 1_away win in the cup

Jaysus I never heard of Hal Blaine before. Hard to believe one man played on so many classics.

Some musicians are up their own holes alright,

I remember playing one night upstairs in Nealons on Capel St supporting Don Baker,the drummer(worked for an advertising agency on Wellington Rd) up his own hole,i used my own snare and he says try not to hit the tom toms too many times...or the cymbals!....shudda just brought me tambourine!!

He did mention something about working in sales funnily enough, not advertising though. This fella is a Dub, about 60 odd now I'd say, was with Baker for a year or 2.

It was about 86/87, the world of advertising seemed to be full of snobs and wankers,this guy was a posh fecker..that i do remember,yer man you're describing doesn't sound like him other than the tall and wirey.

Nothing worse than paying to see a self indulgent wanker make love to himself onstage. I saw Van the man a few years ago and he was so up his own hole that I'd wager he wanks himself looking at a recording of himself looking at a recording of himself pulling his own plum to a picture of himself.. Cunt didn't care if you were there or not, never again.

Laffin..

Yeah, a horrible cunt.. That was deffo a ditty to self but on the other hand a great songwriter and artist.

A lot of Irish artists have covered his work. The Waterboys and Hansard are fans apparently. Its a pity hes such a cunt.
