Ding Dong Denny O’ Reilly

DING DONG DENNY O REILLYDing Dong Denny O Reilly was conceived amidst the sound of bombs and gunfire, during The Battle Of The River Plate, which was in the Savoy at the time.That was forty odd years ago (and we mean Odd) and who would have guessed that a woman with almost ninety percent alcohol in her blood, a dose of rickets and scurvy, would give birth to any child let alone this legend. He had a rough childhood. Possessor of a moustache and beer belly at age nine, Ding Dong first discovered music in reform school aged eleven. He has played in many musical outfits since: The Nazi Showband, popular folk group Wild Mountain Badger, New Kids In The Block (Irelands first Boy Band to be formed in a prison) and his most (in)famous of all: The Hairy Bowsies. Never realising that drinking every minute of every day was likely to slow his progress, Ding Dong hasn't achieved the following he deserves . But all that changed with the release of his Publocked CD.In 2007 The Oscar Nominated Irish Animation Company Brown Bag films (www.brownbagfilms.com) made a 5 minute film about the man himself You can see more credits and pics in my blog.http://www.brownbagfilms.com/tv-credits/ding-dong-denny .htmlHere is The Hairy Bowsies and The Fester and Ailin Shams on An Audience with Podge and Rodge" http://www.myspace.com/fecklessroguesdiv
