Dublin Explorer - Bray Head. When I was a young fella my Uncle, who had grown up in Blackrock but lived in Zambia, came home and said "Let's go up the chairlift on Bray Head". When I say 'young fella' I mean it. I was probably 6 or 7. But I'm not making it up. About 30 years later I was sitting in the reception area of Coca Cola Ireland ahead of a meeting, and I found myself leafing through a glorious book on the centenary of Coca Cola. And guess what? There was a photo of a guy on the Bray Head chair lift bringing crates of Coke to the cafe that was once at the top. In this show, we go looking for evidence of the chair lift, accompanied by the wonderful Stepaside track 'Last Resort' - it being not long after the death of the great Paul Ashford.
