‘A Night at The Cobblestone’.
An evening of trad in the recently-rescued Smithfield, Dublin 7 musical boozer.
Craig writes:
To celebrate Dublin’s culture and community, District has created a film that documents live Irish Trad music performances from inside the Cobblestone.
You don’t have to be a regular at The Cobblestone to feel a connection to the pub, even if you only darken its door once a year you still feel an affection for it and I think that’s why so many people cared when the redevelopment plan was announced.
The film features Ispíní na hÉireann, Sam Noonan, Emmet O’Brien, Adam Mohamed and other very special guests.
Shot and edited by Collective Films, A Night At The Cobblestone will premiere on the District Youtube channel on Tuesday, December 21 at 6pm.

Protestors outside The Cobblestone, North King Street, Smithfield, Dublin 7, one of the best known traditional Irish music pubs in Dublin last September.
This afternoon.
Smithfield, Dublin 7.
Via RTE news:
Dublin City Council has refused planning permission for a hotel to be built around the Cobblestone pub in Smithfield.
Marron Estates had applied to the council for permission to construct a nine-storey hotel at 77-80 North King Street.
The development would have meant the partial demolition of one of Dublin’s most famous traditional music pubs.
Hundreds of objections were lodged with the council and demonstrations were held to save the pub.
Refusing planning permission the council stated the development would be “overbearing and significantly out of scale and character with the prevailing architectural context“.
