Such a great shame he passed, his talent and warmth are missed by many. At least he left us with a superb solo album to remember him by, and with people like Glen and Marketa covering his songs live he will live on in some way. R.I.P Mic
It was NYC. He went back to where he was born as he was born in NY.. Lisa Hannigan was there. Somewhere's there's another video of this trip and they take the subway to Coney Island near the end. If I'm not mistaken, Glen Hansard was on this trip.
The year before his death he had had a motorbike accident which injured his head and neck. That next year, he had the fall in Holland. Maybe it was too much for a body to bear. Two head injuries.
Died in norway in 2001. He was there for a gig and was out one night and slipped on a step. He fell into a coma then and died shortly after...R.I.P. Mic
You should be able to get hold of it in your Local Store. If your in Dublin Freebird Records should have it. There your best bet if all else has failed. Its the best album I have bought to be honest and worth the search.
ya, and i think HMV has it as well( not sure though). But try Freebird records, temple bar. Or the record store (tower reccords) right above Easons on O'Connell Street (thats where i got my copy of it) Good luck. :)
he was touring with the Waterboys in Holland. When he was out after the gig he fell down some steps and banged his head. He passed away after ten days in a coma. His friends worked to finish the album he was recording, and 'Skylarkin' was released on his first anniversary.
first heard about The Mary Janes in 96' only ever had a tape and saw them once in The Pod - can't believe hes gone. Another talent gone. The music lives on.
I remember meeting mic in 1996 in UCD when the Mary janes were plugging flyers for their gigs. Lovely guy, loss of great talent. Hard to believe hes gone
Wow. every time i hear this tune & see Mic on the vid, it gives me goosebumps. fuckin awesome stuff. imagine if Mic was around today, the kind of stuff he'd be hitting us with! wow.
Rave on Mic Christopher! Gone 10 years, lives on through his amazing music!
