Dafydd delivers in Fair City

Dafydd O'Shea, Kilcullen's debonair man about the stage, has some new gogglebox gigs which should be watched out for.



For one of them, you'll have to watch carefully or you might miss it. It's on 'Fair City', next Tuesday night, the 15th, and he plays a talkative delivery man (his own description). So stand up from your chair when he arrives and give him a good round of applause; if enough do it, it should be heard right across Kilcullen.

The other gig is more in the line for which we know him. Amstel are currently sponsoring a programme on RTE 1 on Monday nights called 'Entourage', which is about an actor who brings his friends along for the ride as he scales Hollywood's heights.

Amstel decided to record eight 'stings' (the mini ads at the breaks during the show) about the four guys in the commercials, three being grounded and one having delusions (guess which that is!). They will be shown for the 22 week duration of the show.

The pic above could be titled 'Honey, I've shrunk the Trojan Horse'; it's Dafydd with the model of the Trojan horse used in the memorable Amstel ad, from the series where he always gets to do the final wisecracks.

Here's to ya, lad.
