A recent interview with Ricky after the excellent tribute to Donnelly that took place in Cork. Streaming here
"On Wednesday the 18th of June The Pavilion paid tribute to front man Finbarr Donnelly (1962 – 1989). Donnelly fronted seminal Cork bands Nun Attax, Five go Down to the Sea? and Beethoven between 1978 and his untimely death in London’s Serpentine in 1989. To commemorate 25 years since his passing on June the 18th Ricky Dineen put together ..and NUN Came Back, featuring himself, Liam Heffernan, Humphrey Murphy, Tom Healy and Ian Walsh who played songs from the back catalogue of all 3 bands."
Ricky says in the interview that he'd happily play Dublin and the rest of the country if they were offered the gigs. I wasn't around for any of the bands when they played first time round, but Tom Healy does a top job of channelling Donnelly. Be great to see them again.
