    Artist History
    John was born under the largest shamrock in all of Ireland on the night when the moon fell under the spell of the great Bambini many centuries ago. A great drunken wizard stumbled gayly upon the shamrock in his search for narcotics and discovered the young "Gillooley" as they were known at the time. He lifted the child aloft...and then dropped him. Once again he raised the young child aloft...and dropped him. And finally after a curry to sober himself up he came back and raised the child up to the sky and proclaimed: "I proclaim that this child will one day write songs and buy a second hand 8-track and record them using some cheap instruments and he'll study sound engineering in the mystical Temple Bar, he'll figure out how to use drum loops in his early twenties and on his 22nd birthday he will get very drunk indeed and the next day have a nice toasted ham and cheese sandwich with a cup of sugary tea and feel much better. Then he will set up a website and write up a ridiculous Bio that is only partly true." With that the old man's arms gave in and dropped the child once more.
