    His surname is Whelan, not Fish, in case you were being serious 5 years ago.

    There's actually a pub-combo-with-midi-tracks-and-drum-machine deally (you know the sort ...they play Charlie Lansborough songs but with a suspicion of Charlie Benante on drums) that play around Limerick called Traffic these days.

    Not the first time I've a seen a previously famous band have their name appropriated for the cabaret scene either. Pretty sure there was Split Ends (now there's a ****e name for a band) doing the rounds as well at one stage and of course anyone who's been to a wedding within an asses roar of Limerick probably danced the night away with senioritas who can or cannot sway to The News ...much to the chagrin of Huey Lewis.

    Every town with a college seems to get a coldsore like re-appearance of bands calling themselves Free Beer or Post No Bills ...all labouring under the misapprehension their moniker is even remotely funny.

    my bro's band name SuperJimenez was pretty rank.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    There was a Dublin band called Free Booze.... similar principle applied
    There was a South African band called Springbok Nude Girls who actually attracted religious protesters who really believed there were Nude Girls!!

    I've always thought the Fat Lady Sings was a terrible name & I think Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly is a shocker too although I actually like both bands music.
