The Dubliner 8th Birthday


At The Dubliner party were: 1. Geoff Power and Andy Carter; 2. Sarah Williams and Barry Crussell; 3. Lorna Nolan and Sasha Coen.



The best little magazine in the country, The Dubliner, celebrated its 8th birthday last week with a rumbunctious do in Renards. Friends, supporters and fans gathered to toast the cultural tome and publishing manager Paul Trainer who was also celebrating his birthday.

The Dubliner always throw a good party and past events are the stuff of legend (Chris de Burgh on the piano singing Lady in Red at the Christmas lunch in Town Bar & Grill last year, par example). Now that mag magnate Michael O'Doherty has taken over The Dubliner I'm sure we can continue to expect such Stellar soirees.

Meanwhile Trevor White, who brought us this great little read in the first place, is in Melbourne, Australia soaking up the sun and counting his millions no doubt ... or planning The Melburnian perhaps?
