Giordai is a great bloke. Don't think he had anything to do with Microdisney but he was in some gang of Cork chancers before the Wassies. What's he up to these days?

 

[plug]

wasn't he in some early incarnation of microdisney, no?

anyway, he's a legend and a complete and utter gentleman to boot. go giordai!

He was in the early version of Microdisney,as well as being in the mighty Nunattax.

I have one a Nine Wassies album somewhere and I think there are some really good tracks including the one where they all shout Bainne in unison. Deadly.

Nunattax ... that's it! Didn't know he was in Microdisney ....

Were the Nine Wassies From Bainne any good?

Their name has been in my head since I was a kid.

Giordai is working with Cathal Coughlan again according to Cathals site.

Ha, this came up after a quick googling - only got around to watching this last night - what, seven years later. Ha.

Pretty funny. I'm not sure if the doc was taking the piss a bit though, or was that a bit of an in-joke. Cathal Coughlan was gas.

Haven't seen him around Cork in a few years, I assume he moved back to Dublin again.

The NUN ATTAX, 5GDTTS, BEETHOVEN discography LP is great.
the bonus CD has loads of extra material (RTE sessions etc) and a nice zine.

about once a month the Examiner does a nice article on some old Cork band
recently e.g. 5GDTTS, EMPEROR OF ICE CREAM
