AFTER more than a decade of sitting in a garage, Irish band The Blizzards may finally be able to off-load some merchandise it commissioned to go with its hit single "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor".
While the coronavirus has proven to be a curse for Mexican brew, Corona Extra, it has come as a "blessing" of sorts for band, as front man Niall Breslin, dug up some branded face masks.
Posting a photo of the surgical masks on Twitter, Bressie, as he's known locally, said "Couldn't sell it back in the day...reckon [I could] get a few quid for them now #TrustMeImaDoctor #coronavirus".
Responses from fans ranged from "I'll take everything you got", and "I'll trade you 16 100ml hand sanitisers for them", to a warning that "masks are hugely overrated for individual personal protection".
Given Irish pharmacies have been struggling to keep up with demand for masks, it is unlikely the band will have any leftover to ship to Australia.
