It’s 20 years since The High Llamas played in Ireland. Back in 2005 the Anglo-Irish art pop band led by the former Microdisney guitarist Sean O’Hagan, played a gig in Dublin’s Vicar Street and a free gig in Cork as part of a Beamish-sponsored festival.

As can often happen with a free gig a small contingent of the Cork crowd was a bit noisy in An Crúiscín Lán that night. O’Hagan laughs when he's  reminded how he became a little frustrated.
