From 30 years ago, this is Depeche Mode in Dublin at the time of the Eight Amendment to the Irish Constitution Referendum. Read more about this in the interview by X Moore scanned below from NME, September, 1983. Photos by Adrian Boot.

Jack Charlton said that when walking around Dublin in 1986 he deliberately sought out a pub off the beaten track. He found the Hill 16 pub on Gardiner St & it became his regular – unaware that Depeche Mode had a pint there too in 1983.

A relative of the woman in the photo with Andy Fletcher got in touch after the Brand New Retro book issued in late 2015 and told me the pub was the Hill 16. Jack Charlton was a regular visitor to the pub so I tweeted the above on the day he died.
