50 Years Since The Beatles Came To Ireland

50 years ago today, on November 7th 1963, the Beatles played their one and only gig in Ireland. But did you know that the only remaining artefacts from that night are 125 seats and doors, bought by the Tallaght Theatre Group, when the Adelphi was demolished in 1995? Rob King, who is Technical Director of the Tallaght Theatre Group, joins Derek on the line to explain more...

SYNOPSIS:
On the west coast of County Mayo Christy Mahon stumbles into Flaherty's tavern.
There he claims that he is on the run because he killed his own father.
Praised for his boldness and bravery, Christy becomes something of a town hero and because of the novelty of his exploits and the skill with which he tells his own story,
many local women become attracted to him, including the Widow Quin and barmaid Pegeen Mike.

But when Christy's father, Mahon, who was only wounded,
tracks him to the tavern and the townsfolk realise that truth
his story of lies begins to catch up on him and his luck is about to run out........

A staggering 466,000 people across Dublin voted for their favourite things about their city, in the 2nd annual 98fm Best of Dublin Awards, at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.

The award for "Dublin's Best Venue" was presented by Irish Boyband "HomeTown"

Although winning the award last year, the odds were firmly against Tallaght Theatre, a small voluntary amateur venue/group, from South Dublin.

In the running for the award against leading venues such as The Olympia, The Wright Venue Swords and Whelans...

But, it would seem the public wanted the award to return home to Tallaght Theatre once again and the group won "Dublin's Best Venue" for a second year running!
