Hey Ronan -
Nice one seeing Rory. Sadly before my time, though I've heard many's a story from my folks about seeing him in his early days. My dad booked him for his student union at Queens in Belfast.
I played with The 4 Of Us in the Blue Lagoon, in about late May/early June of 1999. Still a good strong Sligo connection though - I just finished a 6 week tour with Kieran Goss, a Nordie yes, but now living up the road in Dromore West. Actually, the two Murphy brothers from The 4 Of Us were on the tour too. And I've been blessed to do many's a gig with Vinnie Higgins from Sligo on sound - he's done more than his fair share in helping answer all my nerdy live bass sound questions.
Nice one getting the 5 string - hope the wait isn't too long.
