20 Mar 02 - 10:14 PM (#673068) Subject: RE: Help: Looking for music in Co Clare From: GUEST,Lynn Go to Ennis, to be sure...lots of pubs with nightly stuff there. Be sure to check out Ciaran's, up the street from the O'Donnell monument (can't miss that). And there's another, bigger pub just half a block farther that has things happening (a little too crowded for my tastes). And check out May Kearney's, just over the river. Of course, this information is based on my trip back in 95. Likely, things have changed. If you have the chance to hear Mick Coyne play, do so. Splendid uillean pipes player. He owns several hairdressing shops in the area. |

I don't think they've started putting up monuments to the other Daniel yet. The bigger pub sounds like Cruises. Most of the above advice is still current. Also try Mickey Kerin's (near May Kearney's on a Friday (may not be open 29th - which is true for almost all pubs in Ireland) or PAddy Quinn's in the markets on Saturday. |

The Burren is also there - amazing limestone country. Cheers |

Every where you went in that town was music , music , music. Every bloody bar had a session at night and some in the afternoon. It was a terrible three days. Spot. p.s. Dont drink the water! |

22 Mar 02 - 01:33 PM (#674129) Subject: RE: Help: Looking for music in Co Clare From: Raggytash Ireland as you know, thinks it's the music capital of the world, Clare thinks it's the music capital of Ireland, Doolin thinks it's the music capital of Clare and O'Connors thinks it's the music capital of Doolin. Personally on several visits I have found McGann's to be the better of the bars for music in Doolin, a couple of great Easter Sunday sessions. If you're travelling further afield, there will be a gang of us in and around Stradbally on the Dingle peninsula around the same time Have fun |
