Description
The Stardust Tragedy begins its story in North Dublin which goes from farmland to urban sprawl in the 60s and 70s as thousands of young families become the first to settle in brand new housing estates. As they grow, music is an escape for the working class teens and the concert halls and nightclubs become their weekends. On February 13, 1981, hordes of excited young people get ready to attend a St Valentine’s night ball in Artane’s popular Stardust club.
The Stardust Tragedy is brought to you by the Irish Sun. The series is produced by Urban Media.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
