YOU’RE A STAR It’s always great to announce the o
pening of a new music venue in Dublin and this one has extra gravitas as it’s run by one of our fave musicians on the planet Stef Murphy, a.k.a The Mighty Stef. The Star Bar is located on the corner of Baggot St and Fitzwilliam St, once the beating heart of yuppie Dublin. It’s an intimate space, perfect for niche events and gatherings. Commenting on the unique space and community he’s building at The Star Bar, Stefan said “The intimate size and setting of both the upstairs and downstairs at The Star Bar allows us to create a truly special connection between the artists and the audience. It’s about more than just the music – it’s about building a community for artists and music lovers. Live music venues like this are crucial in giving homegrown and emerging talent a platform to perform and test their material while also acting as a stepping stone to help get them to an international stage. We’re living in an era of streaming culture, but to be honest, I personally don’t think anything can replicate the energy of a live gig – there’s a power to being in the room where it happens.” Music news, reviews, recommendations, interviews, monthly event listings and a whole lot more besides.
