The famous music store is to close its doors on George’s Street.
First opening its doors to customers back in the early 90s, Waltons music shop in Dublin City Centre has become an iconic musical landmark in the capital – and not just for customers.
The shop received international recognition after it appeared in the Oscar-winning film, Once, back in 2007.
Yes, the shop was the backdrop for the famous scene in the film which starred Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova as they practiced one very special song.
