The Tuam Herald

The Tuam Herald is Galway's oldest independently-owned regional weekly newspaper serving North and North East Galway, and surrounding areas.
(62)

Visit us www.tuamherald.ie The Tuam Herald is one of the oldest newspapers in the Republic of Ireland, dating from May 1837 — the same year Queen Victoria came to the throne. The paper was involved in all the major causes of Irish history since then, from the Repeal Movement of Daniel O’Connell through the campaign to relieve the horrors of the Famine, to the Land War of the 1880s and on through t

he tumultuous early decades of the 20th century. Reading through the files of those bygone years can be addictive, but in its day to day life the paper does what it always did: it looks to the next edition, and all the elements that come together to make The Tuam Herald a weekly must for many thousands of loyal readers. It has always been a family business, controlled by three generations of the Kelly family from 1837 to 1930, and since then by three generations of the Burke family. John Burke was in turn foreman printer, manager and then editor after he joined the business in 1900. Today, his grandson, David Burke, is Managing Director. The Tuam Herald of the 21st century brings a modern twist to the local newspaper business. Under Editor Stephen Glennon, our team of talented writers, including Deputy Editor Siobhan Holliman, Sports Editor Billy Coss, Jacqueline Hogge, Mark Walsh, David Connors and our award-winning photographer Ray Ryan, and our many correspondents, serves up a weekly menu of news, sport, comment, arts and culture and local notes that nourishes community life in Tuam and North and East Galway.

WHO remembers the pop poll days? A lovely snippet of nostalgia from our own Tom Gilmore this week.

Before the era of The Saw Doctors, Boy Bands or Beyoncé, the crowds and buzz around Co. Galway when The Tuam Herald held its formative Pop Poll Concerts in the mid-1970s and early 80s was palpable. The feel-good factor spread across the West, and possibly...
