ROCKPILE RECORDS - 1980'S

3 adverts for Rockpile Records published in local fanzines in 1982.

A neat wee shop, selling a mixture of new and second-hand records.

Very aromatic too I remember!

I never actually bought any records from there mind you, my visits were only when I was off-loading parts of my collection from time to time.

And, it was also the only shop in town who dared to sell bootlegs!

THE ORIGINAL DA VINCI'S - EARLY 80'S

 

This is Da Vinci's when it first appeared in Westport in the early 80's.
The interior shots show the central balcony it originally had.
I remember it like this, but also have a memory of it not being kept like this for too long, as shorlty after, they floored over the space upstairs and had a dancefloor instead.
When you went through the main entrance you'd either choose to turn left and go upstairs, or go straight ahead through the western saloon-style swing-doors into the ground-floor lounge.
Either way, it was usually good fun had.
