    Before amdub says "Usent they be big".. :D .. here's the bio..


    The Forget Me Nots..
    DUBLIN 1990 - 1994 OVERVIEW
    Forget-Me-Nots were a quirky indie-pop band from Dublin who were active during the early years of the 90s. The line up featured Michelle Burrows and Eithne Flynn on vocals supported by Maurice McGrath [Guitar], Mark Walsh [Bass Guitar] and Justin Healy [Drums]. Justin had previously played with the likes of The Golden Horde and The Glee Club. The band released a string of catchy singles. The first of these releases was the '2 Fay Ray' EP, featuring the lead track 'So Good'. This was followed by 'Trouble' and 'Soap Singer's Beat' before the band released their debut album 'Hullabaloo' in 1992. While the album was well received, the band didn't achieve the level of success expected and they soon parted company with Sony/Colombia Records. The quarter went on to release 'Five O'Clock' train in 1994 before the band split.

    (I had a look at the Forget Me Nots video and I assume that it's Maurice McGrath, the guitarist in the band, that is the guy that is on the show tonight with Jigsaw Man)..

    EDIT: it's actually the bassist Mark Walsh.. I didnt know bass players could play guitar..

    I just resigned tonight, so I'm not sure I'm an expert any more. It's an okay song, wouldnt think it's amazing, but I reckon it's one of those that will just stick in your head...

    The Jigsaw Westlife Man likes her song, well if that isnt the kiss of death..

    Tough audience.. If it's not John Spillane or Jimmy McCarthy, it doesnt get the red vote..

    Thought Jigsaw man was a bit of a throwback, had a vibe of a song that didn't make a hit in the seventies. Finbar Furey's choice was the winner for me tonight, I actually thought the writer sang it as good if not better but for Mr Furey the pipe interlude made it, he's a skilled musician and whether Hit or not the longterm money is in that choice.

    Anyone else freaked out by that tripping Gypsy's song?

    Where I come from a Jigsaw is a dangerous power tool - I thought it was all very threatening anyway, screaming about attacking people and putting them back together & those oddballs on stage behind him gyrating around looking like they've raided the charity shop and drank a litre each of anti-freeze.

    - Was channel flicking for sanitys sake throughout so missed the Furey song, but it def still gets my vote though cause it didn't scare the kids or hurt my ears....

    PS Did Mundy wear that hat from the outset or was it "found" and thrown to him as usual [cringe]
