They say it’ll stock “One of Ireland’s widest selections of vinyl and CDs, spanning contemporary chart-toppers, classic albums and collector editions alongside turntables, headphones and a huge range of merchandise”.

Customers too can explore the collection of music T-shirts, apparely, posters, Funkos, plush toys and the latest pop culture collectibles.

Stephen Fitzgerald, CEO of Golden Discs, says; “We’ve had so many loyal customers from Carlow contact us over the years asking when we’d be back — and we’re delighted to finally say that the wait is over. Fairgreen is the perfect home for Golden Discs, and we can’t wait to welcome back familiar faces and meet a whole new generation of music lovers.”

Nicola Doran says while a lot’s been said of businesses closing, it’s not all negative on the local landscape;
