SHOWBANDS & SLOWSETS
A celebration of one of Kilkee’s most iconic landmarks and a golden era of Irish social life.
For generations, the Hydro Ballroom was at the heart of summers in Kilkee. Long before streaming playlists and smartphones, dance halls like the Hydro brought people together for nights of music, dancing, romance and unforgettable memories. Showbands travelled the country, dance floors filled, and the Hydro became a rite of passage for locals and holidaymakers alike.
This artwork captures the distinctive Art Deco-inspired architecture of the Hydro Ballroom in a bold contemporary style, using clean lines and vibrant colour to evoke the energy and nostalgia of the 1960s dancehall era.
