A BROTHER of the songwriter of Ireland’s biggest ever selling tune – The Saw Doctors’ I Useta Lover - has slammed Channel 4 over their portrayal of the tragic musician.
It was a magical week in Tuam as nearly 10,000 spectators flocked to the Big Top in St Jarlath’s College for The Saw Doctors’ West’s Awake gigs at the weekend

Google Maps says I am outside Leo Moran’s house in Tuam, Co Galway. If I am, I can’t see it. I park nearby and ask a man would he know where the guitarist in The Saw Doctors lives. He says it is just down the road and I can’t miss it. That may be true, but I’ve missed it, I tell him.
