Local man is 'in the music business' |
|
|
At a party last Friday local Galway man Tim Martin (26) casually let slip, for the
sixth time that evening, that he was "in the music business". Wandering from
kitchen to sitting-room of a house in the Shantalla area of town, Tim engaged
various people in conversation.
When questioned about their exchange Pauline Reid (21) said "Yeah I was talking to him for a bit. Seemed kind of odd but he said he was a musician or something so I suppose that goes with the territory." Others too remarked on Tim's eccentricities. Sharon Brady (19) remembered how Tim had asked her to just stop for a second and listen to the acoustics of the silence when he met her in the empty corridor leading to the toilet. "He freaked me out a bit and kept leaning in close so I got out of there. I really didn't want to 'find an empty bedroom' so I could listen to some music with him." Tara McNally, a musician from Dublin, was puzzled by Tim's constant but vague references to 'the industry'. I tried to get out of him what exactly it was he did but he never answered any of my questions directly. He would make references to 'projects' and 'exciting up-and-comers' that he had his eye on but I don't really think he knew what he was talking about." Jason Lyons, who hosted the party, threw a look across the sitting-room at Tim. "I think he's a mate of John's or something. He always just arrives at our parties, even when John isn't here. He always brings loads of booze though. I suppose being a supervisor in HMV must pay well enough." |
