When I came across AW he could not read very well (Not joking).

The only time we played at an AW gig (The Eagle has landed) we had to meet him and, despite we weren't supposed to pay (as it was a "favour"), he kept us there nearly an hour listening to him repeating the same things over and over....

"This time is free, nextsh time you pay 200 Quidsshh but if you take 50 people (!!!) you getsh your money back"

Then he got a notebook and made us write a ONE PAGE contract for those bleeding 20 mins on stage at the Shelter (worst gig ever by the way!)

"What did you learn so far ladsshh"? "What did you learn"???

"Exactly! Keep recordsh, always keep recordsh!!"

However he's much smarter than you may think: that night I did not want my girlfriend to pay and so I told him... he answered: aren't you the one of the free gig? Sorry she has to pay! If you consider there were 10 bands.......

Besides, I saw that ad for the Xmas gig: he's booking fuckin' 14 bands and chargin'em 250 eurons each.... I have to work two months to make the same money for suck sake!

www.aidanwalsh.com has to be one of the worst websites I have ever witnessed with my own eyeballs!!bog

There is a "song" on AW's site called 'Have You Ever Given Money Away?'. Well, if there is one thing you can be certain that AW has never done, it is give money away. And as for 'You've Got To Eat To Have Sex'. Eeeeeeeewwwwwwww. Given that a friend of mine told me that AW exists on a diet of bread and fanta, the image it conjurs up is just.... EEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he was nuts.

Well Mr.Walsh is getting alot of coverage for being the most hated guy in town. Is all publicity good publicity?

Nah he's not hated..... rather...... grotesque...?

Anyhow, all publicity *IS* good publicity and this is why he's doing so well

 

[#10-7]

- he used to have the biggest colection of porno in dublin
- he takes photos of people then makes love to them.
- he doesn't usually have film in his camera
- he's got loads of teddies which he also makes love to
- his flat has shelves filled with tinned foods so that he can survive if a nuclear bomb hits dublin
- his flat has bread scattered everywhere
- he claims 'the eagles' make him do things
- he speaks in a strange way with a lisp
- he can't read good
- he's a bad listener
- he was brought up in a home know for the abuse of children
- he has mad ideas ie celebrity hotel with tunnel to dublin airport
- he looks like a wearwolf
- he wears makeup all the time
- he writes weird songs about weird things
- he actaully not a bad bloke*

I went to this gig on Sunday night. It seemed to be his regular band showcase spectacular and I'd just about given up on the great man performing himself when he took to the stage and started thanking all the bands who played. There was nobody else on stage with him, so I presumed this would be the extent of it. But then! "I'm gonna sching a couple of numbas"...

We got the Hokey Cokey (or rather the Hokky Cokky Cokkyyyy) and some of the Community Games. Just Aidan and a reverb effect, leaping about like a predatory hippo. Whatever you can say about him, you can't deny his stage presence and absolute pant-soiling hilarity.

His new film is I think being made by the guy who did his life story. "Private Detective" - about a woman who legs it after not paying her television licence and falls in love with the private detective sent to find her.

HOW could you be cynical about this guy?
