My only knowledge of Brush Shiels is from him being interviewed on TV. I know he plays guitar from these interviews but does he actually exist in real life. I’ve never come across him from memory.
Anyway catching up on Tommy tonight for the last few episodes. Thought the interviews with Brent Pope and Jimmy White were the kinds of interviews you would have watched for four hours.
Denise Chalia is indeed a very good looking woman.
Brush is a manic kind of lad who was a mini-star fro about a year when his band Skid Row had a bit of success in the early 70’s. They were unlikely to ever headline at Slane but they certainly were the main draw at the Rooskey Rocks festival circa 1972.
I’m glad to see he’s still alive and in middling form, he was always eccentric. An alright sort.
He is an alright sort. We met him after a gig in Swamp Critters years ago (after he mocked our check shirts from the stage earlier) and he tolerated our drunken bullshit and chatted away.
I’d be fairly sure I’ve seen about 2 episodes of Pure Mule in my life, but I’m happy for someone ( @TreatyStones@locke ) to dig up a post suggesting otherwise. I do recall them loving red diesel alright, but after that
Truth be told I couldn’t remember a single actor from that show. I must be getting old
