Meet our team: Danny from in Barnacles Quay Street Hostel in Galway

Danny Hamilton (our new Deputy Manager in Barnacles Quay Street Hostel in Galway) in a nutshell:

I am from Dublin and am 100% Irish except when the sun shines and I claim to be part Brazilian (you should see me with a football :) )

I have been 27 for 5 years now and plan to be for the foreseeable future.

I have travelled all over the world and can even remember a small portion of it.

I have lived in England, Scotland, Spain, Luxembourg, Cuba and Australia, working in bars, bricklaying, plumbing, orange picking, on pub crawls, football commentating, small parts in movies (two), tour guiding and now finally I have settled on hostel management…

I’m split on the favourite places between stunning country that is Croatia and the electricity of the life in Cuba.

The best hostel I have stayed in is the Glebe Village hostel in Sydney, such a nice place.

Interesting fact, I once told Cheryl Crow (pretty famous) that I hope she makes it as a singer someday, having no idea who she was when meeting her in the Quay’s bar right across from the hostel :(

(We will need to snoop around to find those movies, right???)

If you prefer to stay in Dublin, Book Barnacles Temple Bar House!

Or, book both and get discount! :)  Because we love ya!

The Wonder of the Galway Arts Festival

Posted by admin on July 18, 2011 None comments

Magic Walks Tall in Galway City

Imagine turning a corner and coming face to face with an enormous fire spitting dragon, or a giant, wide-eyed girl seemingly lost in a strange land.


In a flash, you turn to find a ghoul sniffing your shoulder before a seated dinosaur wheels by, accompanied by a brass band.

Meanwhile, just as you think you’re safe, two witches ask you to tango… this was the madness of the Annual Galway Arts Festival Parade!!


The theme was “This Fierce Beauty” so there was a lot of dragons and scary, yet oddly pretty characters.  The paper mache-ing was out of this world, all those participating were extremely into it and the whole show was full of fire. A definite win in the Barnacles book.


Later things to come during this week for arts fest that we’re looking forward to is an art exhibition by Aideen Barry at the NUIG campus, The ‘Comedy of Errors’ show (we have 2 free tickets to give away!!), the Misterman show featuring the gorgeous Ciaran Murphy, Blondie performs in the Big Top and a Silent Disco complete with laser-robots on Friday night. Needless to say this will be a fantastic week.

And what’s more….Barnacles Hostel have joined in on the Arts Festival Madness with beds from only 10 Euro!!! Don’t miss out on this fantastic festival book your stay today!!
