Sometime in December one of Tinneys Bar (often spelt as Tinney's Bar on the net) regulars, Chang asked me if I would care to do some pictures of the bar as a sort of record because it was about to be renovated and the bar itself, so beloved of many, could dissappear. I agreed and did the first set of skectches on the Friday before Christmass. Imagine my surprise to learn soon after that Maol’osa Boyle, Paula Bernardella, Damien Duffy and Kieran Ferris from the Void gallery just up the street had come up with the brilliant idea of transporting the bar to a room in the gallery where it could continue to function as Tinney's bar until the renovations were complete and at the same time become an Art work.
