I remember the long haired, denim wearing, guitar 🎸 playing busker well. He used to play for the queue for the cinema in Galway all those years ago. Great to see.

@@oghamstone5964 hello. I think he passed away last year between August and October. He always played outside the Claddagh Palace Cinema, till it closed. He was well liked in Galway. Bren

Terry Smith died in August 2020 (during the lockdown) He was originally from Manchester, Smith was a regular feature on the streets of Galway and one of the city’s most loved buskers. Terry regularly played outside the Town Hall and Savoy Cinema before moving to a more permanent pitch outside the Astoria Cinema. (This later became the Claddagh Palace and closed its doors for the last time in September 1995) Terry Smith played there for over 20 years in the 1970's and 1980's as people queued. Before making this busking spot his own Terry used to play in sessions in The Cellar Bar, The Crane, and The Cottage to name a few and went on tours to the US and Brittany with musicians such as Mickey Finn and Sean Tyrell. Smith also played with Luke Kelly and Paul Brady and was a member of two bands - The Spailpín and Dickler Fitz. Music was not Terry’s only artistic medium, he also loved painting and took a degree course in fine art at GMIT. His artworks were recently displayed in an exhibition at the Art In Mind gallery in the Liosban Estate.
