About Me

I am the Arts Editor of the GALWAY ADVERTISER, one of the leading regional papers in Ireland. The Galway Advertiser's Entertainments section, THE WEEK is highly regarded and each week features in-depth interviews, album reviews, previews, and features on music, theatre, art exhibitions, book reviews, and cultural events.
Go to www.advertiser.ie/galway and take a look at what we do. If you're a band, a singer-songwriter, theatre company, comedian, etc, and you're coming to Galway to do a show LET ME KNOW. The Galway Advertiser is THE place to get info about what's going on in Galway so email me at: [email protected] If you want to send me a CD for review or a press release post them to me at:
