It was more than 100 minutes and Alan, our guide, was so entertaining and knowledgeable! I figured it would cover U2, Sinéad O’Connor, etc. but there were so many others I had forgotten about or didn’t realize were Irish … and Alan had stories about them all! The museum is a working practice studio and recording studio. We saw the U2 room, the Rory Gallagher corner, the Phil Lynott (of Thin Lizzy) room and so much more. Did you know that the Beatles are more of an Irish band than U2!?
The U2 Room
U2's first album ... they opened for The Clash yet CBS only produced 1000 copies before they dropped them |
Shane MacGowan's (of the Pogues) suit
Johnny Rotten's jacket
Phil's juke box to his mom ... he loaded it up with his songs for when he was on tour |
