Emigration has deeply affected Charlestown, leaving behind derelict homes and shops as young people moved away to England. While some return briefly for summers with their children, the town faces decay. Liam and Noel Gallagher's upcoming performances in Dublin serve as a reminder of their Irish heritage and proud connections to Charlestown. Their mother brought them for summer visits to County Mayo, which contributed to their love of Irish culture. Despite their international fame, the Gallagher brothers maintain strong ties to their family and the community.
Emigration ripped the heart out of Charlestown: generations of young people took the boat to England, leaving behind derelict homes and shuttered shops, chronicling its decay.
Liam and Noel Gallagher's performances in Dublin remind Ireland and global fans of their connection to the Irish diaspora and Charlestown as a spiritual home.
Noel Gallagher recalled summers spent in Mayo, describing it as a 'culture shock' that led to a lasting love for Irish culture.
