Subject: RE: Busking at the Cliffs of Moher
I wonder what the situation is in Miltown Malbay now. We went to the Willie Clancy Summer School in 1993. Marvellous traditional music in the pubs. Returned in 2008 and things had become a lot more commercialised. As well as huge burger vans in the street there were buskers - 2 little girls in embroidered dresses and ringlets playing while their mother collected cash. Yes they played well, but I felt uncomfortable with it.
