Has anyone got any old pictures of the Top Hat venue in Dun Laoghaire? Either outside or inside, that they would like to share? I would like to see images of the building outside and in if that is at all possible....

Thanks you.

Thank you, it is surprising there isn't more images

Thats the only image I could find too, very odd. Loads of photos of ticket stubs, loads of top bands played there, and the prices would make you sick!

I have a whole clatter of old 'In Dublin' magazines which I will go through this weekend and see can I find one. I'd be fairly sure there will be at least one photo of it.

First gig I went to was Anthrax playing in the Top Hat way back in 1989! They walked off the stage after 20 minutes because of people spitting on them.

Not great, but I will see can I find others.
