Brian McMahon comes from Dundalk in County Louth, just north of Dublin. 13 years ago, not so long after Brian’s father passed away, he digitalised a family photograph from the 1960’s, and to his delight was amazed by the quality of the newly digitalised image but also the nostalgia that he had managed to encapsulate online. Since then, Brian has digitalised over 3000 images, adverts and articles of Dublin and Ireland, posting them on his blog; Brand New Retro or in his monthly column in Totally Dublin magazine. 

For a long time I’ve wanted to talk to someone about how the culture of Dublin has changed and evolved over the years, and when I got to know Brian, I thought he was the perfect guy to speak to. We chat about music, nightlife, opportunities and a lot more.

If you are interested in seeing old images of IIreland and the people who lived here then I really recommend checking out Brian’s blog, Brand New Retro. You’ll find a link in the description of this episode.
