Since April 2006 Porco Dio operated fortnightly in the Lower Deck, Portobello. Over this time we have had acts from The USA, France, Czech Republic, The UK, Argentina and New Zealand perform alongside bands and individuals from all over Ireland. Diverse genres ranging rom metal to hip-hop, electronica to folk; and even funk and rockabilly have been represented, as we have always aimed to showcase quality acts that transcend the usual lazy and contrived categorisations.
Of course music alone was never our sole focus; numerous political and social groups have had stalls at our gigs, while our benefit nights have raised much needed cash for groups such as Seomra Spraoi social centre, Revolt Video collective, Residents Against Racism and Abolishing the Borders from Below magazine.
Unfortunatly our time at the Lower Deck has now come to an end, but fear not, as a more than suitable replacement has been found in the shape of Kennedy's of Westland Row (rear of Trinity College and close to Pearse St Dart station).
