Vicar St opened its doors on a corner in the heart of The Liberties in Dublin on August 30th 1998 and was sadly forced to close them again in March 2020 due to the Covid 19 pandemic which has shook the world. Over the first 22 years of the venue’s life, it has seen 5,000 unforgettable shows with incredible performances to over 5 million people by amazing homegrown & international artists. It is now a vital part of the fabric of the world-renowned ‘Irish live entertainment scene’ along with many other great venues across the country who have also suffered the same devastating fate.
Episode 1 features artists including; Christy Moore, Lisa O’Neill, Paul Brady, Tolu Makay and Damien Dempsey.
‘VISION’ is a series hosted by Tommy Tiernan that celebrates the magic of Vicar St, the wonderful people who work there and add so much to its personality and, most importantly, it celebrates Irish artists, reminding us of their brilliance and their importance to us all. It features many of the acts who have had their shows cancelled this year due to the pandemic and we also invited a small selection of the huge pool of incredible new talent.
