The Royal Hospital Kilmainham (now the museum of modern art) is one of the finest 17th-century buildings in Ireland. It was a home to retired soldiers for over 250 years, so a lot of dying went on here I would think, it’s prime banshee territory.
The banshee comb reference comes from a centuries-old Irish story that, if you ever see a silver comb lying on the ground in Ireland you must never pick it up, or the banshees having placed it there to lure unsuspecting humans, will spirit such gullible souls away. I can easily imagine walking acrosss the poorly lit courtyard in Kilmainham late one night and spotting this on the ground in front of me.
The JACK WHITE lettering is based on the Gill Sans typeface, and I must admit experiencing just a small amount of glee in “Irishing Up†something so quintessentially British.
Posters at the show were numbered only, posters purchased from me are signed.
