“I don’t know any musicians who weren’t delighted,” said Eoin Glackin, 27, a popular indie folksinger-songwriter from Dublin. “I remember my first gig in Dublin at Slattery’s pub — solo guitar — and there was like a second roof of wispy, cirrus-cloud smoke in the place. It was beautiful, actually, but horrible to be breathing that crap for six, seven hours a night. It has hurt so many good voices over the years.”
“我认识的音乐家们都很高兴,”27岁的约恩·格莱金(Eoin Glackin)说。他是都柏林的一位受欢迎的独立民谣歌手兼创作者。“我记得第一次在都柏林斯莱特里酒吧(Slattery’s)现场演唱时——吉他独奏——那里像是还有一层由缕缕烟雾组成的屋顶。它真的很美,但是一晚上连续六七个小时呼吸这样糟糕的空气太可怕了。这么多年来它毁掉了不少的好嗓子。”
Few in the pub trade doubt that the smoking ban has coaxed thousands of nonsmoking Irish music fans into pubs they had previously avoided. John Strawn, an author and a golf-course architect from Portland, Ore., who visited Ireland often in the early 2000s, said that he would longingly walk Dublin’s Temple Bar district warmed by the fiery fiddles of the inviting pubs. “I so badly wanted to be in there,” he said, “but I couldn’t stomach the smoke. Now when I’m in Dublin, I listen to more live Irish music than ever before.”
酒吧业几乎没人怀疑禁烟令吸引了成千上万不吸烟的爱尔兰音乐迷们来到他们之前不去的酒吧。来自俄勒冈州波特兰市的作家、高尔夫球场设计师约翰·斯特朗(John Strawn)在本世纪初经常访问爱尔兰。他说自己渴望在都柏林的圣殿酒吧区漫步,被那里诱人的酒吧里传来的热情的小提琴声温暖着。“我特别想进去,”他说,“但是我受不了烟味。如今我去都柏林时,会比过去听到更多现场演奏的爱尔兰音乐。”
