Mad street accordian player (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know the mad accordian player who torments people in the Grafton St area?

I've seen him on Wicklow St a few times. He looks mediterranean.

I need to get in touch with him. Any kind of contact information would be great.

Thanks.

He was sitting on Grafton St yesterday wearing a leprechaun hat and beard whilst chordlessly strumming a toy guitar along to music on a stereo.

edit: oh wait, it was actually the guy who tries to sell roses to you every fifteen seconds. Sorry for the mix up.

I can't remember his name but I have one of his albums. He's definitely better live.

Edit: His address or contact details might be on the CD. Will be a while (as in a week) before I'm at my folks house to check though.

Thanks petethedrummer.

Is this the guy? Carol Aflat? http://www.richmondstudios.ie/carol.html

I wonder if A flat is his favorite note.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

haha thats him!
Thanks again pete.

 

[Pedronimus]

Can this be turned into a Carol Aflat appreciation thread?

This is the album I have

Look at him there all christmassy

He reminds me somewhat of Pepe le Pew in his approach to the opposite sex.

Just doing my job.

A friend of mine wants him to perform at his wedding. I can't wait. I gotta book this bastard.

'Carols Christmas Carols'

haha.

There seems to be some vids of him on youtube. I can't check as the man has blocked youtube.

All the generations should enjoy him. It's hard to be cynical about the guy, a bit like Barrymore before the broom handles and the dead bodies.

A Romanian musician living in Ireland for several years, Carol Aflat, is one of several compatriots in Dublin who visits the roundabout to help.

"We ask them why they come here and they say they would rather to come here, instead of being in Romania living in the most horrible conditions. So they would prefer here to begging.

"They like it better here than Romania," says Carol, who says that the Irish authorities should provide humanitarian relief.

Saw him just off Grafton Street yesterday doing his stuff, he's class!

Hey did anyone see a borat style guy like this fella sitting down playing a portatone keyboard with an amp and generator on main street Fairview last week.

He was playing dancing queen and there was all these little street urchins laughing at him.

Isn't he in the jimmy cake?

Negotiations with Mr Aflat have broken down. He can't play the wedding because the date clashes with a TV appearance he has lined up in his native Romania.

Bollocks. Pull the other one Carol.
