Teatime Talks: 'Bang Bang Shoots the Buses' with Donal Fallon & Daniel Lambert

14 Henrietta Street presents Teatime Talks a series of talks inspired by the history and people of 14 Henrietta Street. Born in April 1906, Bang Bang was well known for travelling on the buses of Dublin in the mid 20th century and holding pretend shoot-outs with the people of the city with a large church key as his 'gun'. He is fondly remembered by many people who lived in the tenements for the fun and joy he brought to the streets of the city. In this free online Teatime Talk, historian Donal Fallon talks to Bang Bang Café co-owner Daniel Lambert about this much-loved man and his legacy in Dublin today. Daniel Lambert is the co-owner of the Bang Bang Café in Phibsborough. In 2017, the café raised funds to erect a headstone for Thomas Dudley (‘Bang Bang’) in St Joseph’s Cemetery, Drumcondra. Donal Fallon is a historian, lecturer and author based in Dublin. His publications include a biography of Major John Mac Bride (O’Brien Press) and a history of Nelson’s Pillar (New Island Books). He presents the Three Castles Burning podcast. By listening and engaging with visitors, historians, experts, local people, former tenement residents and their families, we continue to uncover, record and respond to the 300 year story of 14 Henrietta Street. We protect, share and add to the cultural life of the city. We tell stories, make connections and uncover history. 14 Henrietta Street is a social history museum of Dublin life, from one building’s Georgian beginnings to its tenement times. We connect the history of urban life over 300 years to the stories of the people who called this place home. In intimate group tours, we bring to life the stories of the humans who lived in the house, their changing circumstances, their experience of family life, of politics, and the impact of world affairs. By listening and talking with visitors, historians, local residents and their families and through the knowledge of others, the museum continues to discover new stories, gathering memories and adding to the museum’s collection and visitor experience.
