I'd gone there that night as a guy we met invited us along (hadnt heard of it before) , he was DJ Christian Coates,a sound bloke,and a friend of a friend type thing developed after been invited to parties n gigs he was doing out Blanchardstown way.
.........and then came our mecca and the rest as they say :cool:
Another blok ei 'knew' from back then was Latin Wolfe, again a friend of a friend from Palmerstown,parties n the like, another sound chap so he was, furnished me with a few tapes bitd.
"If i had a time machine for one night" - i'd just need enough time to go home grab all my old tapes,flyers n $hite n bring them forward to today

The G1 in Moore Lane came much later after the Phibsboro G1 shut down. It had very low ceilings and was concrete from top to bottom. It always reminded me of The Prodigy video 'No good'. It was more like the Asylum than G1, well in atmosphere anyway. Very intimidating at times (start of the night) but deadly at other times (end of the night) But in the open plan set-up of the G1 in Phibsboro you lost all that claustrophobia as the ceiling was about 60 feet high or there abouts, there was much more of a free feeling about the place which induced a more relaxed atmosphere I thought, which is probably why it was so good and why the acoustics where so good too.

Did you go in the Ormonde with Coatsey? I ask as me and a load of my mates from Finglas used to go in there and meet up with him for a buzz. Some craic man. Just when you say a friendship developed you may have been in there with him, and buzzing with me and my mates.0 -

Them walks back to Finglas where great, Eric with the G1 Sign under his arm :)and the rest of use drinking the milk that was left outside the shops at that hour in the morning:pac:. But would agree it was a great Venue, pity it never ran longer!Had some really great nights in all the venues I frequented but I think that some of the best nights I had was in a club in Phibsboro called G1. What a great ****in place that was. The acoustics were perfect for a club. It was situated above the ice rink on the current Des Kelly premises there on the North Circular Road. At the start of the night it was that cold that you could see your breath but by the middle of the night everyone would have tops off. Used to close at about 7am and we used to walk to Finlglas, only up the road. Great venue, probably me fav, Sides and The Asylum, being very close seconds, The Olympic, Groucho's and others being close thirds. Never went to the Temple of Sound0 -

Howya Steo,I went to the Ormonde alright but never with Coatsey but used to see him out n about n throw the recognizing nods n 'alright man' to each other, as i said it was more a friend of a friend type scenario, we both knew peeps,he knew lads from over Tallaght & Ballyfermot way and me knowing lads from over his way in Blanch.....I know a few faces from out your way (i'm originally from the west (Wellmount Ave)
Names like, Jeff (Palmerstown),Oz, Andy,Govo,Ryaner,Graham(Tallaght),Keith,Dar & Chris (Finglas),Bren,Tony & his twin bro (Blanch) off the top of me head , woulda been the usual suspects but defo others, just dont have the memory recall these days lol
Is mise le key wrote: »I know i asked this on here before, a mate of mine remembers going to a place over the north side back around 1990 1991 called 'Shrine', anyone have any recollections of this place?
Was G1 perhaps also called 'Shrine' for a bit?
Funny you mention that Key, i think Coatsey used to play the Shrine with that guy Jeff from Palmerstown, all i know is it was a place over the northside of town but 'Shrine' rings a bell and it was defo between 90-920 -
Couple of classics from Larry Gardiner who damn well rocked Tripod on Sunday
