Do You Remember Chris de Burgh?

Isn't he Irish? I know that he lives there now, even if he was born abroad. I find Chris a bit of a curate's egg- good in parts. 'Lady In Red' and 'Ship To Shore' were enjoyable tracks, as is 'I Love The Night (The Ecstasy Of Flight)' from his '84 album 'Man On The Line'. Several of the other songs on that album are diabolical though, and my most loathed & hated Christmas record EVER is 'A Spaceman Came Travelling'. I don't write him off, but in general he's not my cup of tea.
