In the second of the series we talk to ex Turnstiles' bassist and Galway's Free House promoter Jake Tiernan.

He guides us through his journey from basic bassist to touring with Turnstiles and how the lack of a place to play prompted him to start Free House. Which I should point out does not mean it is always free to get in.

Now working with Luke Mulliez, his rhythm partner in Turnstiles and Montessori, he continues to deliver iconic nights in Áras na nGael with an eclectic line up of Irish bands & artists. Listen in to discover who's on upcoming lineups and also who he would choose for his all time Free House gig.

The aim of this 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.
