Continuing in our series of classic music videos filmed in Dublin, we have the The Spice Girls and their 1998 hit single Stop which was filmed in Stoneybatter in the heart of Dublin 7.
Wikipedia tells us that ‘the opening segment, reminiscent of a traditional British 1950’s working class street of terraced houses … was filmed at Carnew Street in Dublin, and features scenes of each member of the group knocking on different doors.’
Each householder was given £100 each in return for stealing off the street according to The Mirror.
The video was shot on January 27 1998 and was directed by James Brown.

If I’m not mistaken that’s a certain well-known Jim Larkin influenced actor and banner maker in the video.
