A message to the people who left Whelan's on Monday night with our friend @moonlookson's vintage Takamine EN 20 guitar, please return it as soon as possible. We have very clear CCTV footage of you throughout the bar, which is going to be handed over to the Gardai.

It’s with a heavy heart that we bring you the sad news that our beloved Joe Nicholson (right) passed away last night after a short illness. Joe will be known to many, as he was the keeper of the gate so to speak, manning our box office vigilantly. He will be sorely missed. RIP

30th years ago today, Jeff Buckley played a mesmerising solo show in Whelan's. Just him and a fender telecaster. That voice. Hairs on the back of the neck gig.

We're deeply saddened by the news of Pat Farrell passing. Anyone lucky enough to have caught him playing at his regular Sunday night session in Whelan's, with the Dublin Blues Cartel, will have no doubt what a genius he was on guitar. An all round good skin. He'll be sadly missed
