Cork’s Arcadia...brings back memories!, an emerging U2 was one. 8 frequently was there in late 1970s.
the showband era and Sir Henrys with side of it.
Tipperary teenager Elvera Butler instrumental. Butler became students’ union entertainments offier started renting the old Arcadia ballroom near the train station.
base crowd of a about 1,000 people, and without the students in the summer you’d get about 800...
The lack of an alcohol licence at the Arcadia also helped with a relaxed door policy, and there were plenty of regulars of school-going age to swell the rankd...you will hear occasional tales of hash-smoking, magic mushrooms and even amphetamine use. Good times
