So, we're down here in the docks.
This is pretty industrial.

But also, this is where
The Spirit Store is.

67
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,800
So, how did that come to be?

68
00:06:03,879 --> 00:06:06,319
Well, it was really the idea
of Mark Dearey,

69
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,839
my business partner here
this last 25 years.

70
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:14,279
Mark had spotted it in 1998
as a run-down old pub

71
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:16,319
and he had this idea

72
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,360
that he wanted to make
a music venue out of it

73
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,440
and he approached me

74
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:22,360
and asked me would I be interested
in getting involved

75
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,559
because I'd a background
in the music business

76
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:26,919
and I couldn't believe it
when I went down to see it.

77
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,839
It was in an awful state.
I mean the roof was falling apart.

78
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:32,040
The whole place was falling apart
and I went,

79
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,919
"Yeah, let's do it," straight away.
Of course.

80
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,040
It was just...!
It was such a novel idea.

81
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,959

I couldn't possibly turn down.

Was it a dockers pub?
It was an old dockers pub.

85
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:51,360
The family that owned the pub
had been living in it.

86
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,000
So, we knocked two bedrooms
into one initially.

87
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,519
It was a tiny little folk club
of 60 capacity

88
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:00,319
with long benches
that you'd see in like Hogwarts

89
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,639

at the very start.

90
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,559

like Christy Moore, Lúnasa

They wanted to come and play here?

112
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080
Well, as you know like,
sometimes when an act is touring

113
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,440
like the agent is on
and obviously word gets around

114
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:14,080
with some of the major agents

115
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,120
that this is a decent place
to apply your trade I suppose.

116
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:19,919

that you realise yourself, and Mark

is the next show.
