  1. Fatima Mansions were one of the best live bands, Cathal Coughlan an incendiary force, the only band I followed around the place like a stalker. I saw them in McGonagales for the soon-renamed Bugs Fuckin' Bunny album. youtube.com/watch?v=K0cY02mgzOw

      The following night in DeLacy House Cork for an absolute riot of a gig (with a third-year maths exam and a cross-country hitchhike squeezed between the two gigs). youtube.com/watch?v=aQG5yBalhrQ

        I was on a US student summer and lucky to be at the New York gig where Michael Stipe walked out and they wrote their Shiny Happy People Go Fuck Yourself riposte. youtube.com/watch?v=aNfU_RMbUCA

          I remember having the chats with Cathal Coughlan on the back steps of the Central Bank after a Rock Garden gig, comparing sweaty tshirts - his a yellow U2 one from supporting them on tour, mine a home-made Keep Music Evil one.

            The gigs were always sweaty, 1000% from band and audience. Vicar Street, the Tivoli, didn't matter the venue. Goodbye goodbye, Cathal Coughlan.
