Sin títuloWhite 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.

Sin títuloA print of a black and white photograph of Sinéad O’Connor taken in 1995 with two Lock Hards by Bill Doyle.
Lock-hards were a fixture of Dublin life for decades. They would shout unsolicited parking advice, hoping for a fee. Peaked caps lent them a spurious air of authority. Sinéad O’Connor is an Irish singer who won fame with her cover of Prince’s ‘Nothing Compares 2U’. She has often been a figure of controversy, expressing strong views on organised religion and women’s rights, most famously tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II on US television. A Dubliner is someone who loves to remind you that Sinead O’Connor once worked as a waitress in the Bad Ass Café.
