From Prejudice to Punk to Pride

September 28 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm


As former lead singer with Dublin punk band Chant! Chant! Chant! and founding member of Muted Cupid, Ireland’s first LGBT theatre group, Eoin Freeney reflects on the post-punk era of the late 1970s and early ’80s and how renegades such as Phil Chevron, Bob Geldof and others inspired him and many of his generation to, as Geldof sang, ‘Kick down that door’ into a new era and find their voices which had been previously silenced by the powers-that-be.

Chaired by Dublin City Historian in Residence, Elizabeth Kehoe.

Note: Limited spaces, booking essential.
