IF YOU WENT clubbing in the legendary Sir Henry’s nightclub in Cork back in the day, you’re sure to have memories of the many rooms, the DJs, and the people that you met there.
Hell, you might have been one of the lucky few who saw the likes of Nirvana, John Martyn, Sonic Youth or the Pogues grace its stage.
The club closed over a decade ago, in 2003, having been opened in 1978. Now there’s a call for memorabilia from those who danced, drank and kissed at the venue.
An exhibition and archive
This summer, UCC library will be holding an exhibition documenting the history of the venue, as well as building up a permanent archive of items connected to the now-demolished building.
There are some key contributors from the Henry’s scene involved, including DJ Stevie G, who still DJs and is a presenter on Red FM. He has donated a huge amount of items to the exhibition.
One of those involved in the project is Eileen Hogan, a PhD researcher in UCC.
