Tim Tierney tells a room packed full of nearly 200 people to turn to one another and introduce themselves.
The moment isn’t all that different from what you’d expect at a Sunday Church service, as strangers lean from chairs to say hello and shake one another’s hands. With an immaculate arched roof and Tim standing before a stage, it feels very much like this is his congregation.
But it isn’t, and instead, this is a guitar group, something that has been run by Tim at the Florrie in Dingle for the last seven years. Tonight its members have swelled almost three times in number to see 197 players pack out the upstairs room for what’s been billed as the Guitar In - a one off to help raise money for the ornate building in L8, but more importantly bring people together.
