"Not been to the Fleadh in Ennis this year, Jim? They haven't gone away completely."
Stopped going to the Fleadhs back in the sixties Peter - too crowded and too precious
I know they haven't gone away but they tend to be confined to their own company apart from the Annual national events nowadays.
If you remember, the County Fleadh run in this town a few years ago was a definite non-event
In London, we befriended and recorded a superb fiddle player who was a stalwart CCE teacher until he became disillusioned - fair play to him, when he moved back to Clare he held hi own independent classes right up to his death a few years ago
He can be heard playing HERE
