I'm a big fan - he was a troubled guy and let's face it, hasn't enjoyed good health for years. I saw him less than 2 years ago at a very intimate gig - absolutely spellbinding.
Amazing that such a hard living 'rough diamond' (for want of a better phrase) was capable of such aching tenderness in his music.
I'd urge anyone to buy Bless the Weather or Solid Air for starters if you're into dreamy, trippy jazz/folk bliss.

No actually - The Spirit Store in Dundalk - great venue.
Completely forgot to pay tribute to his guitar playing - seriously, one of the best acoustic players I have ever seen. If you've ever seen his big sausage like fingers, it doesn't even seem possible that he could have played the things he did - and a lovely hazy voice which seemed totally at odds with his face & frame!
