Rock Show - 23rd March Emma Dowling
There is a trend now hitting our stores known as Y2K (year 2000) - also known as Kaybug. It’s recreating the late 90s and early-to-mid 00s fashion styles. Yes, indeed, with all its many faults and cringe worthy moments, it was a time that had a very distinctive style for both men and women. Denim. Guys and gals were encouraged to wear everything denim, and at once. Shirts, jeans, miniskirts, […]
Just like the decades that went before, the 90s and 00s were eras of innovation. The developments that occurred in the technology sector shaped our world for generations to come. During the 90s, the VHS was at the height of its popularity. There were no quick access menus for fast instant play. You had to rewind the tape and wait - if not kindly left at the start by its […]
It’s Saturday in the 90s, everyone is home for the evening. You’ve all finished your tea and ready to settle down together for hours of pure TV gold. Baywatch, then Gladiators, followed by Blind Date! Arguably the greatest television line up of our time. There was simply no shame in spending an evening with Pamela Anderson, the Hoff, Ulrika Johnson and Cilla Black. There was no pause, record or rewind […]

Yes, it was in that very moment when Blur made the decision to move forward the release date of their single Country House to the very same day as Oasis were due to release Roll With It, all gloves were off. The media spiralled into a frenzy in the summer of 1995, and it became forever known as ‘The Battle of Britpop’, and in doing so, a new music movement […]

We’ll be broadcasting live, and playing the best music from the 90s and noughties. There’ll be a great selection of hot food, artisan, craft stalls, and entertainment for the entire family. The Market takes place between 11 am and 4 pm at the Castletymon […]
Only the '90s and noughties can be remembered as two decades in the right place, at the right time to steward the Millennium’s night of passage. A euphoric and fearful time where 1,000 years in passing reached its date of reset. Legion of Mary prayer groups went head to head with world extinction theorists. One side prayed for the continuance of life after the stroke of midnight whilst the other […]
We still have the music but what about those 90's venues that contained our teenage spirit? The Belgard Inn Who recalls Nirvana's 'Smells like Teen Spirit' lifting the Old Belgard Inn up in rapturous song at 1am, or the tomfoolery of those carefree nights? Tallaght teens, queuing to gain entry, with their 'Rachel' haircuts at the mercy of the elements. Cascadas 'Everytime We Touch' bellowing out into the night air […]
Dublin teens sported those Adidas tearaway tracksuit bottoms of the 90's without a care for athleticism. Three bold stripes and a legs length of snap buttons guaranteed the envy of the O'Neills cargo pants crowd. A good level of trust was essential when wearing these – as one’s friends could come along and rip the bottoms open, exposing legs, and with stronger conviction - your thighs and all. Yet fashion […]
