White with purple writing poster for 4 Provnices, Harcourt Street including ‘Sunday Final Miss Ireland’ ‘Earl Gill – Dublin’s Greatest Showband’ and others.
This poster advertises the Four Provinces ballroom on Harcourt Street. An iconic hangout for many years, the 4Ps later became the Television Club before being demolished. Showbands were popular between the mid 1950s and late 1970s; they usually featured a lead singer fronting brass and rhythm sections and a keyboard instrument, playing popular hits of the day. The Miss Ireland pageant has been running since 1947.
