Ep 37 Unsung heroes of the Galway music scene #1 with John O'Connor

In the first of a new series we talk to Galway music promoter John O'Connor who runs the city's A Modern Movement.The aim of the series is to shine a light on the heroes in the shadows. Those who host the small scale shows and events which encourage and develop upcoming bands and where you might see your next new musical love. Although Galway-based, the themes apply to any such place with a thriving sonic sub culture.John guides us through his own not insignificant input to the night time economy and curates a personal dream lineup. Could Galway have a 'night mayor?' How will the new Irish club licensing laws affect things? Where can you get a coffee after 8pm? All that and much more besides.All details for A Modern Movement are on their Facebook pageMusic played in this episodeFrank Carter & The Rattlesnakes - Devil Inside MeReuben - Let's Stop Hanging OutBiffy Clyro - 57Sal Dulu - She Belongs To Roth
