History
The Limelight first opened in 1984, growing over the years to include the Katy Daly's public bar and the Spring and Airbrake venue.
In 2010 then owners, CDC Leisure, went into administration. In late 2011, The Limelight complex was purchased by Irish live music promoters MCD & Shine Productions. In late 2012 following a major refurbishment, the individual bars were rebranded, with the Spring and Airbrake being renamed to The Limelight, Katy Daly's becoming Katy's Bar and the original Limelight venue becoming known as Limelight 2.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
