Cover Magazine UK – Issue 3 1997 – Sexy Irish Men

June 21, 2012 by dubdoug

For all the writing that’s worth reading was the tag line for this UK Mag, which amalgamated & published media articles from around the world. This is issue 3 from 1997. Not too sure how many issues it lasted for but I think it folded by the end of 1999. Issue 3 had a story by actor Gabriel Byrne taken from Magill magazine and below is Maeve Binchy’s  article on Sexy Irish men, taken from Harpers & Queen. And here is […]

The Book of Poor Auld Fellas – 2007

June 15, 2012 by dubdoug

At the bar, during the Spanish game last night, I overheard 2 Ould Fellas muttering about the younger people in the pub, supposedly watching the game yet constantly playing with their mobile phones. One of the guys was the spit of the guy on the cover of this book.  Actually the two of them were. And its Father’s Day this Sunday… Published in 2007 by Hachette Books Ireland, this gem of book has 180 pages, and was put together by […]

Rory Gallagher was only 47 when he died on 14th June, 1995.  The article (below – well worth a read) was written by Donall Corvin RIP, the photos are not credited but most likely to be by Roy Esmonde or possibly Mark Nolan.

Goal Magazine – 1970 and Johhny Giles

June 10, 2012 by dubdoug

Published in London, Goal Magazine, in the early 1970s was a regular read in our house. More sophisticated, detailed & expensive than Shoot it packed a lot into its 48 pages. Disappointingly, despite being its cover star, all that they had on Johnny Giles in this issue was this… For the week that’s in it and seeing that we’ve already featured Eamonn Dunphy and will shortly have a post on Liam Brady , I’ve scanned in some more on Giles from 1972 at […]

Euro 1988 – Evening Press Supplement

June 8, 2012 by dubdoug

The week before the finals kicked off,  almost all the Irish newspapers published Euro 88 supplements.  ”Free” supplements, now commonly available almost every day, were a very rare breed back in 1988.  It’s hard to describe how exciting it was, back then, to see these supplements devoted to a major football international tournament WITH Ireland competing in it. These page scans are all from the Evening Press Supplement.

NME & the Belfield Punk Festival, UCD, Dublin, June 1977

June 3, 2012 by dubdoug

This month, 35 years ago, Patrick Coultry, from Cabra, Dublin was stabbed and killed at Ireland’s first ‘Punk Rock Festival’ held at UCD, Belfield, Dublin. I wasn’t at the gig but I do remember the sensationalist coverage from the NME in the subsequent weeks. I’ve scanned in related pages from NME, July 2nd and 9th. Apart from the Radiators from Space, the other groups appearing on the night were the Undertones, The Vipers, The Gamblers and Revolver. More details of […]
