Description

Carr's was famous for its craic, not crack.

An Irish pub, still festooned with tattered tricolours, and decorated with antique Guinness signs.

History

Carr's was a popular and lively Irish pub in western Stanbury, known across Malton for its folk music nights and the comedy club upstairs. The temperamental landlord, Eoin Carr, could himself play a mean fiddle but was just as likely to crack it over a patron's head if they annoyed him: this happened most nights.

Frontman Reilly O'Really at the time of The Brogues' first gig at Carr's.

Bands who performed here included The Brogues, Malton's premier Irish punk-folk group; miserabilist folk singer Van Morrissey (songwriter of Heaven Knows My Girl with Brown Eyes is Miserable Now); and The Dropdead Murphys from Boston, who wrote their #1 hit Shipping Out to Malton after their infamous gig in this bar, when the moshpit set up a resonance wave that cracked several neighbouring houses.

O'Really has since returned to Carr's several times, in zombie form.
