Sultans of Ping lead singer Niall O'Flaherty's accent

[Fusty]

I'm having a bit of a retro love-in at the moment with Casual Sex in the Cineplex after finding it on Spotify.

I've become a bit curious about the accent every song is sung in. I know lead singer Niall O'Flaherty is from Cork (and I see he's a lecturer in a London University these days which must be funny when his students google him and see footage of him gyrating on stage in tight pink pants!) but was he born in the UK? Did he live there when he was young? Or was it just cool at the time to mimic a northern English accent?

I thought you might have the answer alright Jim. I also presume you have his direct number too. Give him a call and a yard of grass and he can confirm it!
