I like their lead singer, Barry Bulsara.

Are they still going?
On another note (see what I did there?) did you manage to get to the McCarthy gig at the Dog?

Nope - Kevin Dempsey is still about and one of the others runs ArtSpace on Lower Holyhead road.
I did see Martin Carthy.
It was very strange to be back in the Dog after all these years - spent pretty much every Friday night in there from age 15-19.

Dunno why I called him McCarthy! Was it a good gig?
As you are somewhat younger than me I don't suppose you remember a Cov folk scene regular from the late 70's/early 80's called John Shanahan? I only ask because I recently found him on FB and he sent me a copy of his album (remember those) called 'Dance of flies' - really good stuff lyrically and musically.

Yeah, he was on good form and played two sets.
Don't know Shanahan, but I am considerably younger than you ;)
