Used to have a snooty atttitude to Aslan. THat's changed. A genuinely great working class Irish band. Rare and something to be proud of.

Saw him yesterday at the Bowie Celebration, and I didn't know him before, but the way he sang "five years" and "Rock'n'Roll suicide"....oh man, I was in awe, such a beautiful way to sing, such a beautiful man, his voice and his singing is everything! Thank you so much, Christy, you're wonderful!
