Downes' resounded to the sounds of punk in all its myriad guises on Friday last. We were delighted that Louis, Brian, Mick and Joe played fast and loose with the remit of Punk at 50 serving up four hours of eclectic choices stretching from the sixties into the eighties.

Punk rock records spinning on the turntable tonight. A bit of Glam and good friends,thrown in, and we had the perfect night. What a blast! #punk #vinyl
Some memorable rallying cries emerged during the upheaval of punk. Do you have a particular favourite?
Join us in Downes' tomorrow evening to mark 50 years of chaos, anarchy and songs with three chords or less.

Muchos gracias to @waterfordvinyl.bsky.social for having me play a set in Downes’ at the weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed selecting some fine tunes for fine people. Indie bangers, punk vibes, electro-pop and with a fine helping of cheese! Thanks to Frank Ryan for the photos too!
Never mind the Jubilee…..
Here's to Punk at 50
A celebration of the sonic upheaval of 1976 and the music that inspired it….

I’m honoured to DJ with @waterfordvinyl.bsky.social in Downes on Friday evening. Currently whittling down my records into a manageable 60 min set - not easy!! Anyway, if you’re interested in hearing some news, used and abused tunes while quaffing fine ale, we’ll be in Downes
Only Legends on the decks this night!👌
We have ourselves a gang of four - with residents Brian and Louis squaring off against guest spinners Ollie & Rob. Who will be left standing at the end of the night? Well, you'll have to pitch up in Downes' Bar, Waterford on #VinylFriday to find out.
Join us in Downes' Bar on Friday next for #VinylFriday. Not alone do we have a pair of ledgebags in the shape of Brian and Louis bossing it on the decks, they will be jostling for elbow room with two colossus of the local entertainment community, Ollie Breslin and Rob O'Connor for time on the mats.
It has been decreed that the Friday following Culture Night will now and forevermore be known as #VinylFriday. Why not mark the occasion by joining us in Henry Downes & Co on Friday next, Sept 25th, starting at 8.30pm.
