A colour photograph of Tom McGinty dressed as a cavalier in a frame with the caption 'the not so laughing cavalier' and with bare legs below the frame.

Thom McGinty, better known as the Diceman, was a street performer in the 1980s and early 1990s. He came to Ireland in 1976 to work as a model. The name Diceman came from a shop that sold role-playing games. In the 1980s and early 1990s, McGinty became well-known for performances on Grafton Street where he would sometimes work as a mime artist or would otherwise perform in costume, advertising the shop. He is pictured here as the Not So Laughing Cavalier. McGinty was diagnosed with HIV in 1990 and died in 1995.

The single cover is black with white writing 'Bagatelle Summer in Dublin' with a picture of the Liffey and Dublin city in the evening.
“I remember that summer in Dublin/And the Liffey as it stank like hell,” went the chorus to Dublin rock band Bagatelle’s 1980 number one Summer in Dublin. The smell of the Liffey was a serious problem – £25 million was set aside to clean up the river that year. The narrator decides to leave for somewhere cleaner and quieter, but when he gets bored, “I just get on the road and I stick out my thumb/’Cause I know for sure you’ll be there still.”
