DimeStore Recordings (09-16) was a weekly live music night which showcased some of the best live acts from Ireland & abroad. The night began in 2009 when two passionate friends, one a musician, the other a sound engineer, decided they would embark on a journey to help up and coming acts spread their music. By hosting this free night, with a mixture of some established

and some unknown acts, they succeeded in enticing larger audiences to see the budding talent this live underground music scene has to offer.

“We did it because we were amazed by the quality and variety of the music we saw at festivals such as KnockanStockan, so we decided to showcase this talent regularly and watch it grow” Andy Cullen of DimeStore (The sound engineer)

“ I can’t believe it’s been four years and we have put on over 200 shows and had more than 1,000 acts perform on our stage…” Peter Pureheart of DimeStore (The Musician)

Awarded Best Live Music Night in Ireland 2012 by Music Review Unsigned (MRU), DimeStore has garnered somewhat of a cult following amongst Ireland's up and coming rock 'n' rollers and music lovers. Thanked on many LPs and EPs, the lads names have appeared on releases from such bands as The Hot Sprockets, The Eskies, Túcan, Markas Carcas, Raglans, The FitzaFrenic, Veroa and Hassle Merchants, to name but a few. DimeStore Recordings hosts a stage at KnockanStockan Independent Music Festival 26th-28th of July this year and have done so since 2010.

“We simply could not program our festival without these boys. With over 1,000 music submissions, we rely on the likes of DimeStore Recordings to be on the ground watching these bands live” Bettine McMahon, Program Development, KnockanStockan Festival.

“If Dimestore was a movie it would be 'Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves'! Because...for the good of all bands and the love of one night, they fought to keep the peace by bringing the noise!” Graham Sharpe, Knockanstockan

Well, that was a daycent response from yas. Thanks!
We do all need an aul kick up the arse from time to time and we're feeling like this may be the right time for that kick! Not just our arses but, yours too.
We're gonna try bring back the DimeStore buzz of puttin' together a brilliant lineup that mixes genres & styles that ultimately gets the scene minglin' & creating!
The aim again will be a free in event (bi-weekly) 8pm til late to showcase the best acts around, basically. Like before, acts will be paid but we may add a "Pay What Can" scenario as we want to show the acts their worth. We were lucky with Sweeney's back in the day, going to them with our "crazy" 3 floor DimeStore ideas -18 bands of a Thursday night. They fully supported it though, thankfully.

There hasn't been much like this since we stopped and we think it's something that's needed for the Irish music scene right now and with your help it'll work! Come along, interact, follow and support the bands you love & the ones you haven't heard yet!

Below are some live recordings from DimeStore a few years back.
Let us know in the comments if you were lucky enough to catch any or all of them live back then.

p.s. we're in talks with venues etc. so we'll update you soon.
