A peep at the New Stella [cinema]…

Classic kitsch signage replaced by garish retro art deco?

That’s progress/FIGHT!

The public consultation for the new and very unfair rules the council are potentially imposing onĀ  Dublin buskers is over this Friday at midday. We decided to fly back yesterday from our single promo in the UK to help rally the cause with our old Dublin busker friends

We’ve learn’t a lot about what can be done by the public in these situations after working closely with keepstreetslive organisation who saved busking in a lot of cities in Britain.

We don’t busk here in Ireland anymore and haven’t done for a while! but we really don’t want to see Dublin lose its street performance charm! Public consultation is on Friday, you can submit a submission and have your say here.
