This is why prerecording links for a radio show is a patchy business at the best of times. I do wonder, if this is true, why bells didn’t start going off in the head of the jock in question the night before…

Darren? drinks anything. Even meths will do… His secret weaknesses though are Moet champagne and Suntory whiskey…

It’s weird.

It’s like looking into a mirror to the future…

Culch has the review, I thought he was brilliant and relentlessly smart and different as always.

http://www.culch.ie/2009/06/28/barnacles-are-the-work-of-vandals-bill-bailey-at-dublins-olympia/

Want to know how I got to meet him?

Not because I work in the meeja here. Nope.

Not because he reads my increasingly patchy blog. Nope.

I posted this on Twitpic at the end of his gig:

https://twitter.com/rickoshea/status/2363545495

Turns out @brogenhayes was in the private bar afterwards, knowing some mutual friends. The bould @realbillbailey takes out his phone, shows the picture of the gig and she says “I know him, he’s in the bar next door” and thus I was ushered in…

The magic of Twitter my friends…

acdc

I’d like to stress I did NOT set this up myself. Their record label did.

But if you’ve ever:

(A) Wanted to see the comedy value of what it would look like if you photoshopped my head onto Angus Young from AC/DC’s body…

or

(B) Wanted to win a free Gibson SG guitar signed by AC/DC or 10 albums from AC/DC’s back catalogue

then this is for you.

One passenger aboard the longest train gets the guitar, 4 others get the consolation prizes…

Chop chop…

 

EDIT

FAIL!!!!!!

Who forgot the hyperlink….?
