Prints commemorating Trevor Dietz by Stefan Murphy available for free at Connolly Books

A DIY linocut print commemorating the late Fontaines D.C. manager Trevor Dietz has been made by Dublin musician Stefan Murphy.

The prints are available for free in Connolly Books on East Essex Street, Temple Bar.

“Along with unearthing and giving upcoming local bands and DJs the chance to showcase their music, he was also an activist using his position to promote great causes,” read the caption under the announcement post from Connolly Books.

"In particular of late, the cause of the Palestinian people's struggle against racism, domination and genocide, RIP Trev.”

Dietz was well known to Stefan Murphy, who shared a heartfelt eulogy to the Workman’s co-founder following his passing on June 7.

“I LOVE YOU TREV,” he captioned a photo of him and Dietz on Instagram. “I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. I WILL NEVER LET ANYONE FORGET YOU.”

Although Trevor Dietz was best known as the manager of Fontaines D.C., spotting the band in 2016 and helping guide them to international success, he had a significant impact on live music and nightlife in Dublin.

Dietz co-founded The Workman's Club in 2010 and organised events like Somewhere? Wednesdays, and his well-known Bank Holiday Sunday events showcasing emerging acts.

He was also a vocal supporter of Palestinian rights and was generally to be found on the right side of history. Hot Press liked and respected Trevor enormously.
