Teddy boys, Stoneybatter, Dublin 1962.

Darragh Geraghty writes:

Last week we launched our new photographic exhibition, entitled Where Were You? Inspired by Garry O’Neil’s book of the same name, it explores Dublin’s youth culture and street style from the 1950’s -2000.
We would like the exhibition to reach the widest possible audience, and were wondering if you could help us out. I think many of your readers would be fascinated both by the disparity between today’s youth and what is on display, and the incredible fashion and attitude of some of these youngsters. We’d love to bring the exhibition to the attention of any Mods, Rockers, Punks, Teddy Boys, Skinheads, etc. (past or present!).
