Dublin Old School Nightclubs by Maxi

Any doves?

Do you remember the good old days before the Ghostown?

Mark at Jam Art Prints writes:

We have a signed limited edition giclée print of Old School Nightclubs by Maxi in a a2 size to give away to Sarah Murphy an old clubbing Broadsheet reader.

It’s a print inspired by all the dance clubs, including Sides, The Pod, and The System. from days gone by.

To enter, give us the craziest memory of a night in one of the clubs in Maxi’s print (above).

There’s probably very little to remember from those nights, but the best memory wins.

The Boxty House in Temple Bar, Dublin in 2012

This afternoon.

“On Thursday, we did 24 covers in total. On Friday we did six covers, normally I’d do 400,” says owner Pádraig Óg Gallagher.

“I had forecast to do possibly about 200 covers over the four days, Thursday to Sunday; that was what I was banking on doing. We had staff back in and we were there twidling our thumbs. It’s soul destroying.”

Robb Murphy – Choose Your World

This should put a spring in your step.

Belfast troubadour Robb Murphy (top) asked his fans to send him in their videos of them singing along to his new single.

The expertly edited result is charm itself.

Robb says:

“Choose Your World is a song about how our thoughts create our world. By choosing to see things in a positive way our perception becomes reality and we are more thankful for all that we have. The song was written as a mantra to motivate me and I am hoping it will help others too.”

Nick says: Murphy’s lure.
