Brown bread either way.

As you said the earlier reports didn't mention a bike.

I could never take to Hansard, I had to deal with him several times on both a professional and personal level. He could be difficult - for want of a better word.

That said - two of the Frames 90s albums (particularly "Fitzcarraldo") are part of the musical DNA of my youth thanks to Fanning, No Disco and various club nights and pubs.

Never met the guy. Am ex of mine said he was a tit when they met him.

Revelate is a dirge.

I crossed paths with him a few times and while he could be awkward, he was the same fella at the peak of his fame as he was when you'd meet him in the pub. RIP

May he rest in peace.

This is interesting from a few weeks ago:

Never liked his music, and the Markéta Irglová situation - mentoring her from a young age before becoming involved when she came of age - really put me off him. It's surprising that it was largely ignored and he never really had to deal with any backlash from it.

RIP, all the same.
