Celeb Spotting 🐐

[quote=“Kinvara, post: 12046”]

is Martin Hayes a spot Link? saw him in Ennis over the Xmas but only muldoons would know who he was

Ill be taking charge of this thread from now on

Martin Hayes is one of the finest musicians this country has ever produced. Of course he is a spot.

Martin is a resident of Seattle these days AFAIK.

Potential for a grunge-traditional Irish fusion there.

Given your vast experience as a former adjudicator, I value your input.

Good player for Arsenal in the late 80s too. An unmitigated disaster at Celtic however.

Hardly a celebrity though.

Who: Martin Hayes
Famous for: diddly aye music and being very good at it
Wearing: black leather jacket, jeans. He hasn’t aged at all
Where : O’Connell St Ennis
When: over Xmas, can’t remember the day. Had forgotten about it in truth

A consistent problem with this thread is that people mix up the notion of people they like/don’t like with the notion of celebrity. Paul Brady is a good example. Paul Brady is one of Irelands best known and recognisable musicians. Ergo and ipso facto he is a celebrity. It doesn’t matter a shite that he was fucked out of Planxty or whatever. Not relevant. As it happens, I can’t stand his music, but that is neither here nor there. He is a celebrity.

That is why you are the man to take this great thread forward

Too much fucking bias on this thread.

Yes but rules need to be laid out. An Irish international rugby player would be extremely well known, instantly recognisable and not just in Ireland, but in the UK and a few other countries. Yet because some people don’t like rugby, then it is instantly dismissed. What’s good for the goose and all that-Paul Brady has a very forgettable face and I’d say most people would walk past him without a second glance.

paul brady isnt a celeb

no one would recognise him if he was in the street

you old fool

Fagan, you are an inspiration Sir. You have the Laois vote.

we need a cunt spotting and no mark spotting thread so the adjudicator can send dubious spots off to them and the mods can delete the offending posts from the principal thread

we need you to quit posting shit ideas
