Background:
The Chinky Mental Daves came to light after
touring Pompey with their 'The Frank & Walters' tribute act in the
early nineties. Founder band member Partrick Thistle was Eire born
and bred, but moved to Portsmouth in the seventies to work in its historic
dockyard. His affinity for Ireland runs through him, and The Frank
& Walters represent to him the very best of all things Irish.
Diarmuid Flannel was a drunkard who spent most of the eighties in jail
for GBH and armed robbery. The band only released the one EP of cover
versions on Frostbyte, preferring the thrill of live performance to the
sterile atmosphere of a recording studio.
