One of Dublin’s last independent record shops Tower Records celebrates its 18th birthday on Thursday with a special all day instore gig in their Wicklow St. branch.
Well, its here, we’re 18. Its almost hard to believe, as all the other Tower’s around the globe have fallen, Dublin’s branches have remained, and hopefully we will continue to do so for another 18 years. As I’m sure you can tell, we like a party here in Tower Records, and our 18th bash will aim to party harder than ever.
On Thursday the 18th of August [see what we did there?] we’ll be getting things started early when Michelle Doherty of Phantom 105.2 broadcasts her show, Finest Worksongs, live from the store which will be swiftly followed by nine, no less, instore performances throughout the day. We will also have a few little treats for all our customers but what exactly we have planned will remain our little surprise, for now.
The lineup is
12pm – Spies
1pm – Riptide Movement
2pm – Strypes
3pm – White Collar Boy
4pm – La Faro
5pm – Alarmist
6pm – Hot Sprockets
7pm – Miracle Bell
8pm – Declan O’Rourke
