Of course, he's Irish - that makes him a folk singer.

Weirdly everywhere else suggests he was born in 1954.

And 1954 is a much better year than 1951 by the way!

Lest I open a can of worms, it might be appropriate to request a thread-title change. Geldof WAS born in 1954.

1954 was a very good year

But you should have some understanding for the Freudian slip: Shambles was born in 1951

My claim to fame? Geldof's band was appearing in Leeds a number of years ago and his children (Fifi Trixibelle & Peaches) came to ride at my stables with their nanny. Nice kids. At the time we were sworn to secrecy, but I guess after about 12 year or more it doesn't matter now......
