Last month I interviewed Garry O’Neill author of the upcoming Where Were You? photography book, a comprehensive history of Dublin’s music scenes and youth cultures from 1950 to 2000, which will be out next month.
The interview, which I used for two articles; one for Rabble and one for the upcoming issue of Look Left which is due out this week, took place in a nice quiet snug in Doyles on College Green.
Here’s a short ten minute extract from the interview where Garry talks about Dublin’s 1970s Boot Boys, Garry’s long search to find decent pictures of the legendary Bridge Boot Boy gang and the reaction after handing out leaflets, asking for photos, around pubs on Dorset St. on the days of Dublin matches.

The Commissioners maintain the Lighthouses around the 32 counties of Ireland. Sadly that well known Dublin Landmark the GASOMETER
[ie that big grey tank seen beside the ship in the video] has also been torn down.
