Do You Remember...THE GREAT UCG MUSIC GIGS OF THE LATE 1970s THAT WERE THE BEGINNINGS OF GALWAY's STATUS AS AN INTERNATIONAL ARTS MECCA?

 

It was arts impresario Ollie Jennings originally of UCG ArtsSoc and founder of the Smokey Joe's Folk Club, and Padraic Boran, UCG Students' Union Entertainment Officer, who were primarily responsible for placing Galway city on the international arts and music concert circuit.
They transformed Galway from being a sleepy backwater town into a major cosmopolitan city of culture.
