US Star films in Galway despite War VILLAGERS in a down town part of rural Galway got an eyeful of an Uptown Boy when pop star Billy Joel jetted in to film his new video in a Galway Village today. Inhabitants of the sleepy fishing village of Kinvara, which is more famous for quality oysters and mussels, got the surprise of their lives when they saw the New York star shooting the video for a single soon to be released. The event has been kept secret until this morning. It is believed that filming will finish very quickly, possible by this afternoon. An executive jet was seen landing at Knock Airport yesterday, although it was uncertain who who the passengers were. There have been no protestes so far.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4What exactly is there to protest about. Billy Joel films video in Galway. I can see that you mightn't exactly be a fan of his music, but isn't organising a demo against it, taking it a bit far.
my favourite bit is "a lane landed in an airport but we have no further news"....
Wow journalism in action.
If you see Billy Boy heave a rock, but thats just for "up town girl"
Kinvara famous for it's oysters? my arse, One look into kinvara bay will tell you it ain't famous for it's oysters. If anything it's famous for floating shite in the water. Lovely town though...
