Waltons Music to open new Superstore

The new superstore promises to be a one-stop destination for music lovers, ranging from beginners to professional musicians and will carry some of the most famous brands in music including Gibson, Marshall, Yamaha, Zoom and many more.

Waltons has been in the business now for over 90 years and is a name familiar to musicians young and old. Many will have purchased their first guitar, or indeed just about any musical instrument that springs to mind, from one of its music shops.

The Waltons shop on South Great George's Street was in fact the setting of the movie Once's most famous scene. It is the place where Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová sing their Oscar-winning song ‘Falling Slowly’ together.

Speaking about the new superstore, MD Niall Walton said: "...Our Blanchardstown store with its ease of accessibility and vastly larger space ushers in a new era for the company..."

The Managing Director feels the store will succeed for three simple reasons: variety, value and location.

"We are very conscious that these days people expect – and demand – real value...Blanchardstown Centre is also a great location and diverse shopping centre, and we are delighted to be bringing music to the huge range of shops currently in the mix."
