Ron Kavana. Last time he played in Liverpool he turned up 15 minutes before he was due to go on and then had the nerve to insult the sound engineer. His show was mostly a succession of very inferior versions of Irish standards like 'The Foggy Dew' and 'Dunlavin Green' interspersed with cliched and mostly inaccurate sermons on Irish 'history'. Ironically, he was playing to a mostly Irish audience in an Irish Centre and most of the people I spoke to agreed that he was crap. So much for the guru of the Irish music community.

I did feel that he did deserve some sort of ecological award, however, given the amount of recycled material in his set. How many times has he recorded 'Reconciliation' now?
