    Didn't realise he had died until I saw your post - great memories of lots of great gigs with Auto Da Fe in the Rathfarnham Inn, the Buttery in Trinity and more.


    Strummer, Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Phil Chevron, Malcolm Young


    Danny Federici and of course Clarence from the E Street band - I still get a little bit emotional when Bruce signs about when 'Big Man joined the band' on 10th Avenue Freeze Out

    I forgot about Phil Chevron, I saw him with the Pogues supporting U2 in Croke Park in 1987.

    Saw him twice, Edinburgh in 1991 and Brighton in 1992 or 1993. Had a beer with him after the first gig, lovely guy. Astonishing performer. One fine memory.

    Ranking Roger just died last night RIP, caught the Beat who were a surprise quick announcement for Body&Soul 2017 when Songhoy Blues and another bunch of bands got stranded at an airport due to a bomb hoax en-route to the festival. So was delighted to be greeted by the Beat on the main stage as I missed them at the Picnic about 2 or 3 years ago, they were amazing.

    One more I thought of and how could I forget? Cliff Burton. Saw him in the SFX in 86 when Hetfield had his arm in a cast from a skateboarding accident and they had a stand in guitarist.

    I think the bus accident that took Cliffs life happened less than two weeks after the gig.
