LUSH! LIVES

Lush! Lives is a film that celebrates the music, the memories and the legacy of Lush! - the club night at Kelly's in Portrush which ran from 1996 to 2020.

Over its 24 year history, Lush! welcomed many of the world's best DJs to entertain crowds on the north coast of Ireland and this film features interviews with members of the loyal Lush! crowd as well as some of those famous Djs.

The film features interviews with Lush! promoters, Col Hamilton and Alan Simpson as well as Carl Cox, Seb Fontaine, Judge Jules, Dave Seaman, John Cecchini and Dave Dresden of Gabriel & Dresden.

What began as a hoppy project for our founder, Peter Craven who was a regular attendee at Lush! turned into a feature film that took us the best part of three years to make.

Having hosted the film launch at Kelly's in Portrush on 27th April 2024, the film was then screened at The Strand Cinema in Belfast and Portrush Playhouse in the summer of 2024.

To mark one year since the launch of the film, it was published on our YouTube channel in April 2025.
