Classic Irish crooner Richie Kavanagh, the country's self-proclaimed 'no. 1 comedy songwriter', recently finished a run of shows in the Sands Hotel in Tramore, Co Waterford. 

Kavanagh had a string of novelty hits in the mid-90s, including the song Aon Focal Eile, which topped the Irish singles charts for eight weeks in 1996.

That record would also go on to achieve glory (winning the Irish Recorded Music Association award for best single) and considerable infamy (after being banned by the BBC until after the watershed due to the alluded English-language profanity in the song's lyrics.)

The singer continues to play venues all around the country, and last year Newstalk's Henry McKean caught up with Kavanagh at the National Ploughing Championships.
