When:

Short story:

Dexys Midnight Runners play at Baymount, Sligo, Ireland, Europe. MC on this tour is comedian Keith Allen.

Full article:

Kevin Rowland (Dexys Midnight Runners) : Keith Allen was good. I'm Irish and very proud of it. We took that tour to Sligo and Cork and all these places people never saw bands. Lost a fortune. But Keith would challenge you. He saw the way the country was, and he turned his white collar upside down and went on with an Irish accent pretending to be a priest! "Look, we've a band on tonight, we don't want anyone getting over-excited, touching each other and that kind of thing." If they'd known he was an English comic, they'd have killed him.
