If you’ve flown on Aer Lingus in the last month or so, you may have read my article on what’s great about Dublin through the eyes of myself and the musicians of Dublin. James Vincent McMorrow talks about all the great coffee shops here, No Monster Club’s Bobby Aherne on serendipitous connections, Villagers’ Conor O’ Brien on the city’s “growing inventiveness” and contributions from members of Le Galaxie, Heathers, The Minutes, Olan All City, Gib Elastic Witch, Popical Island and more. There’s also tips about where to eat, drink and stay. So basically lots of reasons to stay or visit Dublin. It was a pleasure to write such an article. I love my city. The photos are by Matthew Thompson. Go to pages 54-65 to see why:
