It’s hard to believe it was 34 years ago today that Bagatelle recorded their hit song ‘Summer in Dublin’.
The track, which was written and performed by Dundalk singer/songwriter Liam reilly, was recorded in Battle Studio in Hastings in Sussex, England.
It also coincided with Liam’s birthday as he turns 59 today.
Summer in Dublin was an overnight success and catapulted the band into the spotlight two years after their formation in August 1978. It would be the first of six number ones and countless top 10 hits.
A few years back it was also voted the third best Irish song of all time.
