Skinny Henry
Skinny leaves the Airbags
Sunday October 30, 2005
Henrik Wüst, bassplayer and longtime member, has decided to leave the band due to time constraints.

As we all know it can be complicated finding time for all the things that matter e g family.

We understand his decision, although we're sad to see him go, and wish him and his family the best in the future.

Cheers, mate!!!

Henrik earned his nickname "Skinny Henry" some years ago when he was the most slender member of King Laoghaire. Nowadays there are quite a few bony people in the band and some of the Airbags have somewhat deflated ;-)
