Kevin Conlon, Sligo Ireland :
This is one musician who has been there -done that!! And definitely has a few T- Shirts to prove it!!
Played music and drank vodka with Shane McGowan and the Pogues, and is still around to tell the tale, but is recovering well!!!!! LOL.
Played Irish music behind the Iron curtain when it was strictly taboo for any westerners to be allowed in that part of the planet!! Got the proverbial red carpet treatment . but then had some serious shit with 2 KGB men and sent them packing in GDR, East Berlin, circa 1979--didn't know it at the time that they were KGB. But that will teach them to try steal a Paddys Schnapps at 4 am. in the morning!! Scars have healed nicely now--their scars I mean!! Only jokin of course......................................? But,that was the 80s madness for you!!Supported The Chieftains, Christy Moore, Michael Barrymore Show, and plenty more..
Played in London based cult band in the 80s called Dingle Spike and afterwards Schooners Rig.
Kevin is now back on home ground and still writing songs and playing music with The Rock N Reel band,and apparently has no intention of quitting just yet!!Never let it be Said !!!!!!Check this link to The Soundclick Internet Charts : "Them Old Country Songs" reached Number 4!! [from a total of 36,000 songs ] in The Country General category ! This was Kevins first ever venture into Country Music and it seems to have worked!! But, he still remains an old Folker at heart..:http://www.soundclick.com/genres/charts.cfm?Genre=Co
