Tiny Gallagher

Posted By on January 4, 2011

 

Tiny “Galla Shawn” Gallagher is one of the best……….. and a one of a kind. She did a stunning head balancing trapeze act. Yes it is true………… there were others in our business who may have been just as good, but when Tiny came into the arena and then climbed to the lofty reaches of the trap bar…. she owed it. Her very presence captured the audience.
