Heās not dead yet, but the outlook is gloomy. Itās been a long arduous battle for him all the same. Hopefully the Lord eases his pain as gently as possible.
I know Iāve ranted about him at times but at the end of the day you donāt want to see or hear of anyone suffering over a lengthy period.

Christy always seemed an alright sort. He had a fragility that was at odds with where he came from and the other Aslan members. I remember seeing him at Feile after heād been kicked out of Aslan and was solo. He was on in the very early afternoon. Nobody was really paying attention but by the end of his set a good few had started to watch him. He had a presence.
This Is is as fine an Irish song as there is. Feel No Shame was a great debut album.
The professional Dub following that grew up around Aslan and that God awful Crazy World shouldnāt take away from their and Christyās legacy.

Christy Dignam and SinĆ©ad OāConnor are the two most gifted voices this country has ever produced.
Viva Christy.

Christy asked me for directions to the oyster tavern (or maybe the Mutton lane inn) once in Cork, we were by Roches Stores so I strolled up with him, it was in the Dignam and Goff era, Iād say he was fairly stoned but was good company,
Fair play to him, a life well lived in general, This Is is one for the great Irish songs

To my shame I sent my da in to HMV (?) on Henry Street once to get an Aslan record signed by Aslan when Eamo Doyle had replaced Christy as the singer. It was a Saturday morning I was playing a GAA match.
He got it signed. Theyāll be huge Da.
For years after he asked me why heād heard no more of them.

Christy was very much an alright sort. Aslan were a staple of DCU nightlife in the early 00ās and weād often end up in a mini lock-in in the bar there with himself and the other lads. Theyād be completely off their face but very nice about it and loved a bit of craic and banter.
