Sat 05 May 2004Being Christy DignamOn the Town: Watching Christy Dignam on stage is "unreal", according to one fan, Rob Smith, from Terenure. Dignam, lead singer with veteran Dublin band Aslan, always sings in his bare feet, using his whole body to interpret songs."He has a very unique way of performing," said Smith. Graham Quinn (16) from Clonsilla, agreed, saying "Dignam is a genius on stage . . . He's like a character in a film".
