Luke Gilleran

Luke Gilleran (15 July 1956 – 18 May 1980) was an Mullingar lad and pints in Dannys (yop) lad. He is best known as the lead lad and lyricist of the post-pints crew Micks Shed. Micks shed released its debut session, Micks 21st, in 2012 and recorded its follow-up, Saturday Night, in 2013.

Gilleran, who suffered from being a hard cunt and too many rollies, committed rollicide on 18 May 1980, on the eve of Micks Shed first Athlone session, resulting in the band's dissolution and the subsequent formation of Micks new gaff. Gilleran was known for his pints, dance style, and 'heading to the back of dunnes?' filled with imagery of desolation, emptiness and alienation.

In 1995, Gillerans brother Deborah published show me how to roll a rollie: I'll give you two euro, a biography of the lad. His life and death have been dramatised in the films The lord of the Rings (200?) and Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in tha hood (2007).
