Comet Records Dublin
Unfortunately now shut
Comet’s tale has been one of ups and downs since it first opened on Chatham Street off Grafton Street in 1984 as Halley’s Comet appeared in the skies over Ireland.
Two years later it relocated to Crown Alley in Temple Bar. The shop moved again in 1989 to its present premises on Cope Street and a year later it opened a branch on Washington Street in Cork. However, in 2004 owner Brian O’Kelly was forced to close both shops.
He reopened in Dublin in 2009 but in 2011 said“this time we are going for good”, he told The Irish Times “It has been on the cards for a very long time. There is a whole generation who have never paid anything for music and I don’t know if they will ever be prepared to pay anything for music.”...RIP Comet !!!
