The families of the 48 people who died in the Stardust fire are seeking a meeting with British ska band The Specials, who performed at the Artane venue just one month before the 1981 tragedy.
The legendary band, whose hits include Ghost Town and Concrete Jungle , will be in Dublin next month to play a sold-out gig at Trinity College on July 2. Speaking to Dublin Live, survivor Antoinette Keegan - who lost her sisters Mary, 19, and Martina, 16, in the Stardust fire - said that they are hopeful that they can get in contact with The Specials.
A number of people who were at the gig in 1981 later told gardai they saw “sparks” in the ceiling during the performance.
