Video: ‘The Ballad Of Copper Face Jacks’ is the first hit song of 2015

Get this man a Gold Card.

Joe Harrington

Get this man a Gold Card.

Copper Face Jacks is like super-strength magnet for people on a night out in the capital of our beautiful country.

It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what you do, there will be a person in your group that will suggest to end the night in Coppers.

For someone who has never been there, it’s pretty hard to describe, you really need to experience it to understand it.

Musician Mick Konstantin has experienced it and he’s gone and written a brilliant song about the Dublin club.

“You’ll have teachers, nurses, farmers, jersey-pullers by the score” is one of the many spot-on lines from it. Enjoy.
