The Twelve, Galway Hotel
"The Twelve", "The Twelve", "The Twelve ....."
Whenever you're in Galway you'll hear ”The Twelve” repeated in casual conversation in bars and restaurants in the city centre and throughout the villages of Salthill, Barna, Spiddal, Inveran, Rossaveal, Carraroe, Roundstone, Clifden and beyond.
Like many another visitor, you may find it puzzling. What does 'The Twelve' mean? What are they talking about?
The Twelve Apostles?
The Twelve Days of Christmas?
The Twelve Labours of Hercules?
The Twelve Tribes of Israel?
The Twelve Tasks of Asterix?
The Twelve Olympian Gods and Goddesses of Greek mythology?
The Twelve – an American comic book from Marvel Comics?
The Twelve – a novel by Stuart Nevilles?
The Twelve – a 1970 film directed by Mel Brooks?
The Twelve Sullivans – a traditional Irish folk group?
The Twelve signs of the zodiac?
None of those twelve!
'The Twelve' is a multiple award-winning Galway Hotel located in Bearna (Barna), the gateway to Connemara.
Its name, 'The Twelve', refers to the 'Twelve Pins' or 'Twelve Bens', a small mountain range of sharp-peaked quartzite ranges located northeast of Roundstone in Connemara.
James Joyce would surely have approved of the name 'The Twelve Hotel'.
Anthony Burgess, in 'Finnegans Wake – What It's All About', had this to say:
“There are twelve months in the year, and these will give us the twelve Sullivans or Doyles, customers in HCE's bar but also twelve apostles and twelve jurymen, always ready to give ponderous judgment in polysyllables ending in "-ation". Their number, as with a jury, is more important than their names, which are always changing: when we meet a catalogue of apparently new characters, it is enough for us to take breath and count: we shall usually find the same old twelve."
Learn that off by heart and the next time you're in 'The Twelve Hotel', you can regale your audience with your esoteric knowledge.
Who knows? You could have twelve disciples before the night is out!

“There are twelve months in the year, and these will give us the twelve Sullivans or Doyles, customers in HCE's bar but also twelve apostles and twelve jurymen, always ready to give ponderous judgment in polysyllables ending in "-ation". Their number, as with a jury, is more important than their names, which are always changing: when we meet a catalogue of apparently new characters, it is enough for us to take breath and count: we shall usually find the same old twelve."
Learn that off by heart and the next time you're in 'The Twelve Hotel', you can regale your audience with your esoteric knowledge.
Who knows? You could have twelve disciples before the night is out!

The Latin Quarter, Galway
Galway's Latin Quarter
"A highlight for many visitors to Galway is strolling along the medieval pedestrianised streets of the city's Latin Quarter. The area is characterised by buskers, boutiques, unique shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.
Geographically, The Latin Quarter is best defined by some of Galway's most historic landmarks. Starting at St. Nicholas' Church, it runs through Galway's Saturday market and onto O'Brien's Bridge. From there it follows the River Corrib down to the Spanish Arch where the Galway City Centre Museum is located and then swings back along Middle Street and turns up Buttermilk Lane where it joins the starting point.
The retail shops of The Latin Quarter are largely locally owned and it boasts some of Galway's best loved and most iconic restaurants.
Among the festivals that take place in The Latin Quarter are the Little Havana Festival in June and 'Galway Aboo!' at Halloween."

Liam Ó Maonlaí of Hothouse Flowerslistens to Niceol Blue on Quay Street, Galway
"Spend long enough on Quay Street, Galway, and you'll eventually see everyone in the world," said the man at the bar in Tigh Neachtain's (Naughton's).
Niceol Blue from Oregon was singing when Liam Ó Maonlaí of Hothouse Flowers stopped to listen.
Mindful, I'm sure, of his own days busking in Grafton Street in Dublin, Liam fished unobtrusively in his pockets for the coinage of appreciation. When Niceole had finished singing, he dropped the money into her guitar case, complimented her quietly and moved on.
On hearing who her celebrated fan was and that I had managed to capture the moment on camera, she was delighted.
'Don't Go'
- Hothouse Flowers"And there's a black cat lying in the shadow of the gatepost
And the black cat tells me that love is on the way
There's a black cat lying in the shadow of the gatepost
And the black cat tells me that love is on the way
Don't go Don't leave me now, now, now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while,
stick around and laugh a while"
