Long time ago - 1988! As a 1st time visitor,I had my trumpet mouthpiece in my pocket. King's Head had a poster in the window Sunday "jazz at 3:30" I was there from the beginning. At the break I sat next to the trombone player at the bar. Asking if I could sit in, he found me a horn and I played C Jam Blues . . .then many more. They invited me to their gig in Ballyvaughan the next night. There's so much more to the story . . . . . . .

One of our favorite Galway pubs!

[@lavenderfae8585]

If I had my way I'd be there for NYE tomorrow night, delighting in that absolutely joyous music, the wonderful Irish hospitality and warmth and loving EVERY BLOODY MINUTE of it. One day. One day with a bit of luck and a following wind 😀 👍 xx

So awesome thank you for your music 🍻🍸

[@delzworld2007]

This Galway/music/Ireland series is great. It brings memories flooding back of a trip there some years ago. Top marks for the no nonsense informed commentary too.

[@jmclerkin]

Love Galway 😍

[@roisinsteed5241]

Best place ever

[@christopherhughes2211]

I experienced gallway just a few months after the Easter accords. An experience I will cherish unto my dying days. My wife made the mistake of trying to pet the swans down on the beach. Lol swans may be mute but their anger at being disturbed was as plain as day. Never met an animal she didn’t think was a friend lol. Beautiful times.

[@sharonmcdonald3069]

Very nice Irish pub music. N.Z.

[@ianbrown5486]

Wow iwould love to visit great people

[@derekmcmanus1423]

The King's Head is the best pub in Galway! Get in early and grab the table at the front window you can watch the bar and street at the same time! 😀

[@freyadoesitall]

Fun Fact : The founder of The Kings Head was the executioner of Charles The First, he came home and founded the pub in honour of his victim :>

[@ThatCologneGuy]

Connacht fan and going to treat myself one day to see a match there.

[@LairMistress]

I haven't watched this whole video yet; I hope they don't forget to mention Taaffe's in Galway! That's where my fiddle and I joined a session back in April 2006, the last time I visited Ireland... :)

[@denniscallan]

Yes, that pub is the main one featured, a wonderful place...cool that you can just bring your fiddle and join in the session.

[@lisaaheanueanderson4591]

My Family Heanue Farm is still here in Ireland Galway, back in 1500

[@philreflex]

I was in Galway this week !! :-)

[@Melvorgazh]

It's real name is Gaillimh by the way. A gorgeous town. I went there a few times a long time ago. Thanks a lot uploader ^^ Nice busking too. Sláinte! 😉🍻

[@freyadoesitall]

Ed Sheeran earned his stardom buskin on Gaillimh Streets

[@Melvorgazh]

@@freyadoesitall Ah, really? I used to like his music. How did he get involved with the Tavistock institute? Perhaps you might know? He definitely shows occult symbolism in some of his official fotos. 😑 Is his dad Irish?

[@cranioforlife]

In italy we haven't this in pubs, you're so lucky, that music is God music

[@khunopie9159]

This looks good, but I really like Malarkey’s Tavern in Dallas Tx and they play irish music from U2 on the CD player !

[@paulloughlin1529]

from galway "irish pub" music, to american bars wow this guy has missed the point

[@michaelp9707]

Fantastic! Wonder what it looks like at night..

[@freyadoesitall]

wonderful especcially during christmas eve

[@peterlack9605]

Great music, like it! No, more than like it, only!!!

[@ianwattsOfficial]

It's a pity that our Irish pub is not like Ireland pub's; I have not ever heard any Irish music at our pub, they don't even know what uilleann pipes are:::)))So true..

[@paulloughlin1529]

change pub

[@hendrixplek]

Of they don't know about the pipes, burn it down! Just joking...

[@michaelmcnamara748]

Whats the name of the jig at 1.50 please

[@DLewis-pn8yo]

Irish pubs, giving a new meaning to mutual destruction...

[@PaulGappyNorris]

I live here…if I never hear another bloody fiddle-player it will be too soon 😬

[@Fizzure3000]

I visited Galway some weeks ago and I was really disappointed by it actually, should be said that I was only there during daytime tho but still. Galways felt like it was just one big single street where everything was, outside of that street it was rather dead...apart from Dublin where you can walk for 10 blocks and still find a small pub with live music Galway just felt so centered on that single street which was a bit disapponting, I was exptecting it to be branched out like Dublin but in smaller scale which was not at all the feeling I got, I was actually bored with it after just a few hours and took an earlier train home. With that said I might have to spend a night there to also see it from the perspective of the nightlife to get a fair view of it but I don't think I will visit again in anytime soon

[@denniscallan]

Your comment contains its own explanation, don't expect to hear much, if any pub music during the day. At night there will be a lot of it, and not just on the main street, if you know where to go. For daytime music, Dublin's Temple Bar is one of the only locations, as seen in my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnurlGaJjJ1kpZo And yes, Galway is primarily that one main street, which is quite lovely, but some side streets and the park, and waterfront are also interesting and worth a look. It would have been better to spend the night rather than street it as a day-trip.

[@joetheklojs1]

Does anyone know the name of the band in the street playing funky/jazzy stuff, and if they still exist?

[@JimmyWistisen]

Galway Street Club - saw them last week, very good

[@geraldneary1948]

Third-rate jazz.

[@andrealewis3638]

:)

[@hendrixplek]

Sorry, but you are wrong... Trad musicians don't just "improvise as they go". That would lead to a very unpleasant cacophony with so many different instruments. I'm a trad musician myself, I play the Uilleann Pipes. What you hear at a trad session are tunes, some of them very old tunes. A good session musician has a huge reportoir of tunes. And that's how playing at a session works: a musician with a melody instrument starts a so called set, wich consists usually of three tunes, each tune repeated three times. So a musician starts with a tune and if you know it you play along, after three times you stop to listen for the next tune in the set and again, if you know it you play along, if not, you don't. Usually when a group of musicians play regularly for a long period of time, they are building up a common reportoir. The reportoir can vary between different sessions in the same town. There are also regional tunes, that are mostly played in the region they are originating from, but that's kinda dying out due to the technological connection, if that makes sense. You don't have to travel to a certain region to hear its tunes. Sorry if there are some mistakes, I'm german...

[@massimogiuntini1]

Perfect. Hi German piper. From an Italian one

[@geraldneary1948]

Good comment.

[@alanmaslac2065]

Good and accurate explanation. From America and play flute and bodhran. Strange that there are no flutes in the video. Very popular in Irish trad.

[@sineadthomas2024]

Speaking as an Irish person: Most Irish music is terrible

[@geraldneary1948]

Are you gay or something.

[@geraldneary5758]

There is something wrong with u, not the music.
