A Bit Of Our History
1997 the year we started The Kier Gallery
It was March 24th around 6 PM and I was bar tending in the pub below the gallery, Brennan's Pub to be exact.
A guy in a cowboy hat strolled in and said "I see you host open mic night tonight, can my buddies and I play?"
I answered "Don't know, Can you play?" " I'm Gordie Johnson and Were Big Sugar, were famous."
"Never heard of you" I answered
4 hours later I knew who they were.
I have to say I am in awe of the talent those guys possess. In the 28 year history of the pub It was a night of nights.
Great Guys Great Music
Gentlemen you are fabulous as well as famous.
Thanks for the music
Your friend
