Nova Bar

GCN has recently heard of the closing of Nova Bar in Galway. Long a nightlife stalwart, the instantly familiar spot at Number 1 William Street closed its doors on March 4. At present social media channels for the bar have been removed. This is a sad blow to the already underserved LGBT+ scene in the West. With only a handful of options available for the community, its loss will be felt. The much-loved bar was a hub of LGBT+ life in Galway and only time will tell if the building will reopen catering to the community.

GCN only recently discovered that the last lease holder of Nova Bar, Anne Buckley, sadly passed away in November of 2018. GCN would like to offer its belated but heartfelt thoughts to Anne’s loved ones. May she rest in power.

Championing Older LGBT+ People
As we get older, we tend to become more invisible in general, we can feel less relevant and it is harder to voice our issues. For older LGBT+, who grew up in a very different Ireland, this is an even deeper issue, particularly when it comes to our health and social care needs
Celebrating Ageing
I turn 60 this year and I intend celebrating as I want to mark the event for a number of reasons: to remember all of my friends, mostly gay men, who didn’t make it to 40 and beyond, and to celebrate my wonderful family and friends, my great colleagues at work and people I volunteer with
