 Topic: Irish bands that were good but never made it
Posted: 07 Mar 2008 at 6:35am |
Thinking from the 90s on, wasn't old enough at the time to fully appreciate the music of the 80s.
Rubyhorse were good, that sparkle song is my phone alarm, girlfriend hates it. Is David Kitt still around? Any others?

Anybody know the name of the singer/songwriter who had a song on a guinness ad? His death was a few years before Guinness used the song or something like that

Mic Christopher was his name and Heyday was the name of the song,that is if I'm thinking of the same ad as yourself.
I think he died backstage at a Frames gig,helping to set up the rig or something,supposedly he was carrying an amp or speaker up some steps,fell and banged his head.
Purely hearsay and conjecture,but as accurate as your gonna get
