Mic Christopher - Leargas Tribute [Part 2/4] 

'Troubadour' the Leargas tribute to Mic Christopher broadcast by RTE in Ireland. One of the most moving programmes you will ever see on TV [Apologies for the muted sound - blame RU-vid!]
"Mic Christopher (21 Sep 1969 - 29 Nov 2001) was an Irish singer-songwriter, best known for his posthumously-released debut album Skylarkin'.
In 1990 Christopher formed the band, the Mary Janes with former Kila bass player and fellow busker, Karl Odlum, with Simon Goode on guitar and Steven Hogan on drums.
In November 2001 after playing a gig in Groningen, Holland he apparently struck his head on some steps following a fall. He lapsed into a coma as a result of severe swelling to the brain. He never regained consciousness and died on 29 November 2001, aged 32.
Since Mic Christopher's death, The Frames' frontman Glen Hansard has dedicated every one of their albums to him. They also dedicate their cover version of his hit Heyday to him when played live. The Damien Rice album, O, is also dedicated to Mic Christopher."
