Scope and content
Yellow Mc Gonagles sign with each individual letter.
McGonagle’s was a bar and live-music venue on South Anne Street in the 1970s. Many great bands played there, from U2 and the Stone Roses in their early days to acts like Death (the band after which Death Metal is named) and Sonic Youth. McGonagle’s has since been demolished to make way for a Hackett shop.
