LOCATED ON HIGH STREET IN DUBLIN

PAINT-A-BOX STREET ART - RARE OUL TIMES BY EMMALENE BLAKE

The reflection from the red hoarding caused problems with with my white balance.

A tribute to a founding member of The Dubliners, two of the best musicians to come out of Dublin. The first one is of Luke Kelly, it would have been great to get a box at Sheriff Street for this as that is where he grew up. The second is of Ronnie Drew, a member of the Dubliners for 50 years. Each box has a line from the song Rare Oul' Times, the Luke Kelly one has on the back of the box "I am part of what was Dublin, in the Rare Oul' Times" and the Ronnie Drew box reads "I remember Dublin City, in the Rare Oul' Times".
