The award winning “AMY” tells the story of the life and death of this wonderful singer/songwriter who was one of the biggest talents of her generation. The documentary was directed by Asif Kapadia and produced by James Gay-Rees, George Pank, and Paul Bell.

In the venue you will also find  good food, drinks and a great atmosphere. The Sugar Club is one of my favourite venues in Dublin and it’s not just because it used to be The Irish Film Theatre, I love their intimate and charming auditorium and I feel like I am breathing art as soon as I walk in there.
