Live in Dublin, Dublin is a kipp. Quite like Cork, nice wee city, it's no Galway though, Galway is the kitties titties.

Galway is the worst place in the country,****ing headwrecking hipsters occupy the place and it's romanticised despite being ****ing boring.

**** Galway.Atleast Cork was the home of Rory Gallagher and not some **** song about a Galway girl.

The thickness is strong in this one.

I think you will find he was born in Ballyshannon, but raised in Cork.He even referred to Cork as his hometown.

From Cork and very proud of the city.have lived in Switzerland and London for a few years and had a new appreciation for the place when I moved back.i don't like living in big cities because of commuting or small town because I find them boring so Cork is the perfect size.some nice restaurants and pubs.city centre has gone rough in places.of all the places I've visited or lived in I'd say cork has nearly the most sense of character,be it for better or worse .

Galway is overrated. I think limerick is a nice place and was surprised to like it because people speak of it like it's a right ghetto.Dublin is a grand place too.got plenty of guff there for me strong accent there but shur I won't hold that against the place.

Cork is ok like.

Ha its funny when you say "Cork" though - is it the county as a whole or do you differentiate between the City, West Cork and its beauty, North Cork and its agricultural land/Blackwater valley or East Cork for its industry, beauty and farming land.

Why did he go all the way to america for the resonator? did the guitar shop in cork not have any?

The shop he bought it in was called Crowleys (on McCurtain Street) and it shut down there last year unfortunately. Funnily enough I asked Sheena Crowley the exact same question recently and they were unable to get the Resonators in at the time.

As for Cork? Contrary to the belief of many people from there, it isn't a city proper but more of a large town. I literally can't walk down Pana without seeing someone I know, similarly I can't go for a few pints without bumping into umpteen people. To be honest that's not the sort of thing you associate with city living. That having been said I have a huge fondness for the place. It's rough as a badger's balls but also for a small place it has a massive amount of character and history. Similarly it also has huge achievements in things like sport, music and culture. I wouldn't trade my life in London for anywhere, but I still get a hankering to return home sometimes. There are few things better than a stomp around town drinking Murphy's in the Castle, the HiB and the Oval.
