VOTED "BEST IRISH BAND" BY THE IRISH MUSIC INDUSTRY IN 2008.

Aslan have been together for 28 years and are still going strong.  With hits such as "This Is" and "Crazy World", they have achieved much over their years together including double platinum sales of their "best of" compilation, 1998's "Shame about Lucy Moonhead."

They followed this with a 5 night run at Dublin's Vicar Street where they recorded the live album and DVD "Made in Dublin."  Both shot to no. 1 in their 1st week of release.  The album turned platinum within three weeks and remained in the top ten for eight weeks.

Their 2001 album "Waiting for the Madness to End" hit platinum after only four weeks.

In October 2005, the band released a 48 track CD, simply called the Platinum Collection.  The album chronicles the singles, b-sides and rarities of their long career.

The Platinum Collection went into the charts at no. 3 and after a few weeks lived up to its name by achieving triple platinum sales.  The same year also saw a successful sold out show in The Point Theatre in Dublin, marking the platinum collections release.

In 2009 Aslan released "Uncase'd."  the album sees the band take on songs by artists they have admired down the years, and also based on suggestions by Aslan fans through the band's website.  The album features Aslan taking on songs by artists including a heartfelt and emotional version of Gilbert O'Sullivan's 'nothing 'Rhymed', a soon to be live classic 'Maggie May', as well as John Lennon's 'Jealous Guy'.

This is a band with serious credentials and for lovers of rock melodies, Christy Dignam, lead singer, will have you spellbound with his style of entertaining.  Equally as comfortable playing to a few hundred loyal fans in a country bar as they are selling out the Point Theatre, the hardest working Irish Band in show business never forget the love and support of their fans, touring constantly to perform their now legendary live sets.

Tickets now on sale at The Canberra Irish Club.
