    To be fair its kind of sad to see alternative life styles disappear , variety was the spice of life,

    Every teenager now up & down the country dresses the exact same & all all clones of each other,

    I wouldn't say Galway is a great centre for proper hippies. East Clare, North Clare and West Cork would have greater concentrations.


    Galway would be more of a centre for aimless but artistic young people than bona fide hippies.

    Quite a lot of them have migrated to working the summer festivals, building stages and rigging, putting up the fencing around the festival perimeters, you still see them at Electric Picnic, All Together Now and Body & Soul festivals these days.

    What do they do for the other 10 months of the year?

    Festival season is more like end of April till the end of September really, quite a lot work the psytrance events throughout the year as well as things like the Big Bass Gathering in Leisureland in Galway usually early December (which hasn't happened for a few years now since the pandemic). You would see them alright at one off events at the Commercial Boat Club when they have reggae and drum n bass nights. Other than that I suppose they hibernate up in the hills of Leitrim, Sligo and Clare and Cork, brewing moonshine, growing weed and farming.

    Galway is too expensive now and very hard to find housing, doubt there are many there these days. They are out in leitrim etc.

    I know a hippie, she is around 30 I suppose, cant stand her, awful attitude off her and not a nice person which is weird because I thought hippies are usually easy going nice people?
