Eamonn Andrews Studios

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eamonn Andrews Studios was founded by broadcaster Eamonn Andrews, famous for being the presenter with the big red book of This Is Your Life, a British television programme. In the 1960s, the launch of television in Ireland led him to become the Chairman of the RTÉ Authority. He set up a media production company in Ireland, the Eamonn Andrews Studios, which ran a dance hall called The Television Club in Harcourt Street in Dublin and took on the lease of the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin. There was also a recording studio where many pieces for sponsored radio shows where recorded during the 1960's and 1970's. Several Irish bands recorded demo tapes there including a very young U2.
