Music shopping in Dublin

  1. A

    Walton’s

    These traditional music specialists sell CDs, instruments, sheet music for Irish harp, flute and fiddle, and song books featuring tunes by Irish music greats, including the Wolfe Tones, the Fureys and the Dubliners. You can also take two-hour crash courses in the bodhrán (Irish drums) or tin whistle at its music school. God bless the staff.

    Big Brother Records

    DJs, vinyl junkies and other creatures of the night can seek solace and the latest house, hip hop or dance groove in this basement store (beneath All-City Records) that never, ever sees daylight. And it’s just the way they like it.

    HMV

    This giant entertainment retailer’s main Dublin branch stocks CDs, vinyl, DVDs, games and even books across its three floors. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a huge music store.

    Road Records

    This small record shop, just south of the George’s St Arcade, has all the latest indie sounds, both local and international. It’s also a good place to get tickets for local gigs.
