In the early 1990s, Galway stood on the edge of an economic precipice. The closure of much of the Digital Equipment Corporation plant in 1993 sent shockwaves through the city.

One’s ‘pitch’, where one performed, was very important. It had to be a place where there was a lot of traffic, lots of people, high visibility and little background noise.
