Title: John McCusker - Brigid`s waltz
Post by: Kay Edvin on March 14, 2011, 08:23:48 PM
In this days I am listening to John`s first album from 1995.
Fantastic musician!!

I can recommend the song named Brigid`s waltz...John wrote this to his mum.
Worth checking out  :)

John with hair!!  :D

Cool! Does anybody know when/which year he was born? He seems to be very young, not 30 yet?

It took him at least 50 years to competely lose his hair.
He must be 75 or 80 now !

With hair, he looks like Frodo Baggins musical brother.

Without hair, particularly on stage when he's kind of skipping around, he looks a bit like Gollum.

At first I thought he was gay (so did my friend that came to the Edinburgh 08 show with me), but he always has hot women around him, like Kate Rusby and Heidi Talbot.

Interesting piece from my local paper. :)

In general, your "but" should be "because". ;) Never noticied? ;D No just kidding. :)
