Sir Henry's - The Myths

[Kimeartimmyboy]

Afaik city council own the site and the plan is to extend the city library into it at some point in the next 3-4 decades. The council definitely own the back of Deep South where the beer garden is, if not the whole building.

Am pretty sure the plan WAS, to level the GPH and create a pedestrian walk through to the, ahem, Event Centre. Sounded a decent enough plan when I heard it

Never saw The Myths play there. Saw Nirvana play there twice alright.

I wasn't a drugs person.

I wasn't a drugs person either and was only in Henry's a handful of times. My younger brother used be a regular in there - he was majorly into new bands and live music as well as an occasional joint - though he was never prosecuted. He'd be in Henrys while I'd be down the Arc.

I do recall seeing a band in Henry's called (I think) The Mad Dancing B*sta*ds From Hell in there. Place was full of sweating people "dancing" like dervishes.

Sean O'Neill and Jim Comet were in that band, I think.

Wow the Breakfast Club wasn't even out then.

"Sparkle In The Rain" tour - most likely.

"Don't You Forget About Me" was the death knell of quality Simple Minds.

Jim Kerr should have resisted trying to be Bono and just stayed being Jim Kerr.

I think that it was Jim Comet and Mark Healy & Ian Olney from Cypress Mine in "The Dancing Bastards from Hell".

Was Mark Healy involved in The Liberty Grill for a while or was that a different musician?

That is Denis O'Mullane (Skoda) the former Cypress Mine bass player-he also has Cafe Gusto and that new place at St.Finnbars as far as I know.

That's him - he was behind me in school. I think his grandfather was Mr O'Dwyer, of O'Dwyers Washington Street.

What was O'Dwyers?

I know that it is a pub now.
