Christy Dignam has lost none of his fighting spirit

Chemotherapy has allowed the Aslan singer to get back gigging, and he intends to make the most of every moment, writes Ed Power

Christy Dignam is bruised but unbowed. “There’s no cure for the condition I have,” says the Aslan frontman, who has returned to touring after a very public battle with cancer.

“I did chemo two and a half years ago and that is holding it at bay at the moment. The doctors have told me there is a four-year hiatus. So I have just over a year to go.”
