I’m Alan. Welcome to my Blog. I’m 25, a writer, comedian, journalist and I have a passion for discovering all things new in life. This summer, over 6 weeks I travelled by bus from the very top to the very bottom and to all sides and middles of this lovely green patch of land.
With the help of my followers, I discovered great places, met interesting people, attended some great events, gigs and festivals. This blog is a record of this amazing experience, I hope it gives you inspiration.

that's easy, The Beach Boys!
It has to be The Waterboys.
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band because they never have a frontrunner.
Riptide Movement, saw them at Templehouse, they rock the boat!
it would have to be the script, i love their songs and they get to tour the world at the mo, everyone loves the irish so no matter where we would gig we would get a warm welcome (",)
Surfer Blood for some rockin!
Gorillaz! Being a cartoon frontman would be EPIC!
Ah its got to be The Saw Doctors.. Haha first song i'd sing would be their song "Will It Ever Stop Raining?"!!
I would choose Faith No More. Now I know Mike Patton is a fella but I would happily change sex just so I could have a voice like his. He can go to such extremes with it, from screaming to crooning. LOVE HIM!!
it would have to be with south park group singing chocolate salty balls!
Thirty Seconds to Mars! Would get to dress up as a different thing every night with their themed gigs and also invite a pile of fans onto the stage for the last song.
Oh easy peasy, Ziggy Marley he has a great band behind him, great sounds and he's wild and free.....goes where the mood takes hime ;), you can't beat it :)
Bell X1... rocking sea sessions!
Female lead vocalist for Seasick Steve - l. he makes me feel young :) 2. Catching him last year doing an acoustic gig in the woods was a highlight of my electric picnic, and 3. anyone else I would have wanted to front for is dead (sadly, James Brown, Gil Scot Heron, Grover Washington Junior)
I'd choose The Prodigy, awww yeah!
I would really love to be Jesus, from The Jesus and Mary Chain!
It'd have to be Bell X1 - I could do a "4 minute mile" ...nah, it's easier take the bus ! :)
It would have be Oasis, with legions of fans who loved us even if we fought all the time on stage..great music and the soundtrack of a generation!
It would be DIVINE COMEDY singing the NATIONAL EXPRESS.
I don't think I could be the front runner, but I could certainly sing alongside Bob Marley. Redemption song ... Freedom!
The Hollies - Bus Stop
brings me right back
IT WOULD HAVE TO BE WHAM +1..... ME + MY HERO GEORGIE.... I WOULD TURN HIM STRAIGHT... NO PROB...........
Fleetwood Mackerel... given that particular festival name!
I'd like to be Bono - simply because U2 is one of the, if not the most, richest bands in the world. So I'd be him, ignore the fact that everyone hates me (also quite an experience) and transfer some money in my bank account :-) If I'd choose to be less greedy, I'd choose Billy Corgan because he is a musical genius.
Thanks everyone for taking part, was a difficult decision to make but the winner of the €50 One4All voucher is..........Meg Rybicki! Thanks everyone and keep an eye out, more competitions to come!
I would have to go with The doors :) if only Jim were still alive !
I know he is dead, But Freddie Murcury of Queen. That man knew how to win a crowd, his energy was simply electric. A musical icon!
The saw doctors because the craic with the lads would be absolutely great! N17 HERE WE COME
