    Since BPM closed down, I've found it hard to find decent CDs. The only two record stores that I know of in Waterford are Rainbow Records and Golden Discs. Rainbow Records is the only one I go to since I find that Golden Discs is far too expensive and the selection there is crap.

    So, does anyone know of any other decent record stores around Waterford City or any new ones that might be opening up anytime soon?

    I don't really expect for any new stores to open up though, given the state of the economy and the music industry at the moment.

    Does it have to be Waterford city?

    I know a number of people who travel to Dungarvan to visit Ben O'Neils.

    Guy named Joe working in there is a proper music die hard, seriously knows his ****.

    It doesn't necessarily have to be in the city but I'd prefer if it was.

    Whereabouts in Dungarvan is the place you were talking about?

    If only there was my friend. The closure of BPM while inevitable, was hard to take. Waterford's a sadder place without it.

    There won't be anything else opening I suspect.

    I get my tunes now on amazon, i tunes, plugd in Cork or HMV in Dublin, Cork or in the UK, although HMV are increasingly limited in their choice if you like something a little left of centre. And, I'd bet you anything they'll have gone bust by Christmas, mores the pity.

    Yeah, I had a feeling there wouldn't be anywhere else. There is a record fair that comes by every couple of months though and they tend to have a lot of great albums on sale.

    As you come in to The Square in dungarvan, take a right @ the traffic lights, and head down that road, past subway, new look and super valu, it's on the left then.

    What style of stuff are you looking for?

    I know that everybody says this but I listen to a bit of everything. However, the main stuff that I'd be looking for would be punk rock, psychedelic rock, jazz and alternative rock.

    I pretty much agree with everything you said. I so wish we had a HMV in Waterford or Wexford.

    Joe is definitely the man you want to speak to.

    Even if you set a day a side and took a spin down just for a chat with him it'll be worth the spin, he lives for the music, and loves educating people that ask about it. You never know what you'll come home with.
