What is "glenamaddy"

Glenamaddy is a small town in County Galway, Ireland. It lies at the crossroads where the R362 and R364 regional roads meet.

Glenamaddy is the closest town to Roscommon in the northeastern corner of County Galway. It became the musical capital of Connacht during the 1960s when the Showband craze swept the country. To the east of the town lies Loch Lurgeen, a raised bog. The origins of the Parish (which was originally called Boyounagh) lie in the village of Boyounagh which lies to the North West of Glenamaddy Town.
