Aslan were never as good as Christy. When they tried to go it alone as the Precious Stones, they were rubbish. Christy, on the other hand, was amazing when it was just him and Conor. I saw them numerous times in the Baggot - Christy still fragile as he recovered from his snack habit, his hair long and singing with do much feeling - the emotion dripping off every word. Alas, the Irish music scene at the time was obsessed with U2 - it had to be a 4-piece band with guitar, bass and drums, or nothing. They hated Dignam and Goff because they were a two-piece and they blamed Christy for wrecking Aslan just as they were becoming famous. So, Aslan reformed after a few years and continued to waste Christy's voice with generic rock sounds and they settled into their "touring Ireland" obscurity.

The best cd i ever bought was Conor Goff & Christy Dignam...... anyway Conor Goff was highly under rated guitarist and had a great talent and id love to hear some demos or something more from the beast that is Goff. if theirs any Christy fans out there buy this album if Christy stayed with Coner Gofff they would of being magical trust me!!! ·

[@johnkelly3549]

Well this is just about the worst take I’ve ever read all year

[@allisnotwhatitseems.]

You've got an extremely strong point there.

[@BrianBoru5523]

Don't forget, the cheeky fuckers kept the Aslan name until they got pelted off the stage at the fleadh in London when a load of lads turned up for the Christy experience only to be met with some chancer on the mic with Billy the Ego having a much more prominent role! I wa at the Dignam & Goff gig in Dun Laghoire when Joe and Billy turned up for what was the first moves of the re-hiring of Christy after the awful sacking!

[@thomasfinnegan2062]
