    Hi Folks,
    We're playing a gig in Galway this weekend - where's a cheap place to rest for the night? Not necessarily looking a hotel or anything, just somewhere to sleep and head off the next day.

    Cheers!
    R.

    Crashing is never cheap imo, especially if you are driving a new car, or crash into someone esle's expensive car.

    my best advice is don't do it, keep her between the ditches :)

    Galway is one of the more expensive accomodation spots in the country.
    We don't want riff-raff :cool:

    Feckit OP.

    You're in Galway - let your hair down, splash a little cash and treat yourself. ;)

    I've couch surffed all across Europe and never once had a bad experience, all you have to do is be selective with who you stay with.
    There are rating and review systems for a reason.

    Thanks guys! Slight change of plan though. We've had to postpone the Galway gig for a little while.
    thesandeman, we're called Amidships - http://amidships.bandcamp.com/
    We're supporting Frightened Rabbit soon in Portrush and Belfast.

    There are 6 of us, so couch-surfing is a tad out of the question. Will probably look for a hostel so!
