Up De Flats, Sheriff Street, and the Sound of Resistance – Five Years of Gemma Dunleavy
Update: 2025-08-02
Description
Five years ago, Gemma Dunleavy released Up De Flats, an EP that did more than just tell her story. It told a place’s story. Sheriff Street. Dublin’s North Inner City. Communities flattened in headlines but still rising in rhythm.
In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, Stephen White reflects on the legacy of Up De Flats, what it meant then, and what it means now—against a backdrop of ongoing redevelopment, class erasure, and cultural resistance.
