Net flicks Sultans of Ping back in favour
NIALL O’FLAHERTY isn’t angry — not any more. It used to be a source of immense frustration for the Sultans of Ping singer that his band was disdained as a novelty act, a joke searching for a punchline.
In the very worst days, before the Sultans broke up for the first time in 1997, he would inflict his dark moods on audiences. In Limerick he once almost precipitated a riot by commencing a show with the zinger “so this is stab city”. These are not gilded memories.
