Dave Walsh was born at a very young age. When he was old enough to row a boat Walsh joined the family business of wrecking and privateering on the river Slaney and around St. George's Channel. A contemporary of William Lamport (before he moved to Spain), Walsh briefly held the fiefdom of the Saltee Islands - but later fell prey to the wiles of a young lady from the Revenue Commissioners, and had to hand over the islands.
Later, after a brief epiphany of the West coast of Corfu, Walsh signed up to work with the environmental group Greenpeace, and currently spends a considerable amount of his time hand-publishing inflammatory pamphlets on the 'Internet', from a ship's cabin on the high seas.
When he's not in the middle of the ocean, chances are that Walsh can be found imbibing black beer inside a smoke-free Dublin hostelry called Grogans, smuggling absinthe from Brunei, taking daguerreotypes, scaling mountains, or indulging in high-class decadent hedonism. He has a strange obsession with the eurasian otter (lutra lutra).
Articles by Walsh have also appeared in The Irish Times, Mare, The Yoke, Fortean Times, Wired, Fringeware Review, Signum, Disinformation, and rakes of other publications.
