The son of Slane Castle owner Henry Mountcharles has announced what he says is an art-inspired "new chapter" for the venue, following the death of his father.

Henry Mountcharles died in June, having turned Slane into one of Ireland’s most iconic gig venues that hosted acts such as U2, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, and the Rolling Stones over the decades.
