I'm from Walthamstow London (or at least grew up around there) but I've been living in Ireland for 14 years. Galway for the last 8. I went to University here , graduated in 2003 then went on to a post-grad Masters which I've yet to finish.
Been spending most weekends in North Mayo though. Dunno about this weekend cos I've got twinges of tendonitis.
I guess Galway's ok. kind of scenic , getting a better music scene than it had when I arrived etc.
I get most of my music online & mailorder though the HMV does make things pretty cheap if I buiy sale stuff. They seem to have nearly constant reductions on at least some of their stuff. I've hoped that they haven't detracted from independent locals which were a bit more expensive than finding stuff online and far less reliable.
The Uni campus I can see from the window is pretty scenic too.
