Ive been a Kirwan fan for 30 years, but was saddened to learn of his subsequent breakdown prior to the release of Penquin. He did come out with a few solo albums, but like Peter Green he dropped out of sight. Luckily Peter made a comeback and was the beneficiary of a few tribute albums. Gary Moore did a bunch of his songs. Sadly no one has stepped forward to give Kirwan the same respect. He wrote many fine songs, and it would be a shame if someone doesn't acknowledge his artistry. I imagine he has hung up his guitar, unless he can find Jeremy Spencer and miraculously reappear.
