If you can at all, you should really get yourself down to Galway at some stage during the summer and with the races currently underway, there really is no time like the present.

Shop Street in particular is well worth a visit and you can expect to come across all manner of street performers, such as this incredibly talented group who played a wonderful version of the theme tune to the wildly popular HBO series Game of Thrones yesterday.
