Boom Boom Room
Most people run for the hills when they hear the words ‘avant garde’ and ‘music’ in the same sentence, but we urge you to keep still, for this venue has done more to reflect the cultural diversity of the new Dublin – with its absolutely fabulous blend of folk, jazz, blues, electronica and other diverse styles – than any other. Dubliners are always bemoaning the absence of somewhere they can listen to something genuinely new and different; that just means they haven’t climbed the stairs above Patrick Conway’s to one of the coolest music venues in town.
