About this audio guide
This guide to O'Connell's Bar on Eyre Square in Galway starts in the spring of twenty seventeen, when strangers asked the manager to let them film a tourism promo in his front bar. It follows Gary Colohan, a request he was reluctant to grant, and a camera crew with very fixed ideas about which day they could come. Along the way you'll meet the greengrocer's shop of eighteen sixty-two that still survives around you. Best heard standing in the front bar, near the old shopfront.
