Great Gig Memories: A book that captures the magic of dozens of concerts through the decades 

As well as raising money for charity, the Irish-produced book is a treasure trove for music fans 

Great Gig Memories From Punks And Friends includes recollections of concerts by The Cure, The Fall and Rory Gallagher.  

A new book chock-full of nostalgia on gigs through the decades is also raising money for charity. Great Gig Memories From Punks And Friends features contributions from band members of the likes of The Cure, The Fall and Teardrop Explodes, as well as fans of the music.

It's all the brainchild of Dublin’s do-it-yourself, not-for-profit Hope Collective, which has been active in the Irish punk scene since the 1980s, and had previously raised money for Syrian refugees with their 2017 book, In Concert: Favourite Gigs of Ireland’s Music Community.
