I was born in 2002 and was raised in Ballina from 2009 to 2021 when I came back to Poland after graduating from Muredachs. After three years its safe to say that I deeeeeply miss Ballina and that I wish for nothing more than to return home some day. I feel and always will a very powerful nostalgia for Ballina because of my childhood spent there.. Oh the green and red of Mayo..

The Junction... Years before it was part of a Mayo restaurant chain called Mr Chips. Terrific burgers, chips to die for - sprinkled in onion salt - and luscious pizzas. The Tesco we saw briefly... it was Quinnsworth. Tesco bought them out. But, the two MOST important destinations in Ballina were Woolworths at one end, and Wellworths at the other. Exactly the same stuff. But, for someone running around in short pants, their toys made the trip to Ballina worthwhile. A decent town, Ballina ☺️

I live in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (not named after the Peterborough in England but after one Peter Robinson who promoted Irish immigration to this area). We have a Cavan Monaghan township just to the west of us and Douro Dummer to the north east with areas that were largely Scottish to the north and south east... just about everybody who were fed up with the English, but not enough to go to the U.S. or Australia! Still very strong Irish influence in Douro Dummer. I always thought that County Down was misnamed as it it most definitely UP (geographically) in Ireland.

When you decide to tour Canada [don't come in winter - it's all true], please come to the West coast and visit Vancouver Island [we always seem to get missed and it's a crying shame because it truly is the nicest place in Canada]. Victoria is the capital of its Province of BC and capitalizes on its colonist history by dolling things up with a British and Irish flair, complete with double-deckers, a castle or two, a very popular Irish pub, high tea and spectacular gardens, which briefly lull the Americans who flock here every summer weekend into thinking they're in the UK. The Canadian delicacy referred to as the Beaver Tail - a fried dough, smothered in sugar and cinnamon, topped with the sweet confection of your choice [maple, apple, et al], topped with whipped cream and more sprinkly toppings - is worth the trip. We also have dozens of restaurants, many of which are actually quite decent. If that doesn't appeal, there's always the Nanaimo [nan-EYE-mo] bar. Food and beer are BIG here. The beer is cold, but you can microwave it to room temperature like my Mum does. Not kidding. Never mind. We'll leave a Guinness out for you. Victoria also has theatres, clubs and a newish arena, all of which would be happy to host your show if the Irish pub doesn't attempt to monopolize your time - it would. I am sure you'll feel right at home, and while it cannot compare to Ballina, I humbly give it an 8.75. P.S. I deleted all the political bits.

You reminded me of a trip I did about 15 years ago. It was an organised bus trip and there were 2 elderly ladies there who were from my grandma's home town. It's basically a small village on a remote island, in fairness it's lovely, but the 2 ladies spent the ENTIRE trip comparing everywhere we went to their village, arguing how it's so much better and more beautiful than everywhere else. It was a trip to the Azure coast, one of the most beautiful places in the world - Nice, Monaco etc. It was hilarious!!

Driving alongside the Moy and passing the wreck of the Crete Boom was a great little drive and should I win the lottery I'll be back to live. It was my grandmother's country and she named my aunt Moya in its honour.

The town of Sonoma in Sonoma County California (Northern California not Southern). Its known for it's wineries and important California history. Look at the Plaza where there's historical architecture and where important California history occurred. I grew up there. A little too touristy now for the locals but still has nice shops and restaurants to visit and the park is also a great place to enjoy, let the kids play and have a picnic

Also you can visit Governor Vallejo's house. He was the first governor of California. You can enjoy yourself a lot without bothering about all the newish winery stuff. Jack London's house is right nearby. It's a beautiful state park now in nearby Glen Ellen. (Haunted too) Highly recommend it.

Hearing you sing and then talk for any length of time legitimately blows my mind. I just discovered the songs you performed at hotel Ballina. 🤯

Drimoleague!!! My hometown! Highlight : A small but lovely children’s park with a new pagoda built by local artist! Oh and we have a Centra that sells soft ice cream and if you get it in a sundae you get a choice of three toppings and a sauce! Delicious!!

I promise you, I have never searched for Ballina on YT before, why would you, but somehow, they've worked out I live here, the sneaky little bastards! I ended up in Ballina in an horrific moving accident from the UK, I don't think they liked me, so they brought me here, although I do like the convenience of multiple German discount food stores, it's so old worlde Irish. You're very funny, thanks for the laugh, maybe bump into you sometime 🍀.

Garron! I reckon you should do a google-tour of one of your twin-towns Ballina in NSW, Australia! Except, we didn't know how to pronounce it so we say BAllina not Ballinaaar.

ok, so my ancestors came from Ballina. as an american, i won't ever say "i'm irish!" but between you and me, i'm irish af. one hundred percent of my DNA comes from rural Ireland and 25% of it comes from northern Mayo -- so, obviously, i am blessed. i will be visiting in May 2024 and won't that be grand. carry on.
