Hi there. I have enjoyed reading messages on this board for quite awhile, but this is my first post. I am going with my family (my parents who are in their late 40's and my brother who is 21) to Ireland in July and I was hoping for some advice about places to see good live trad music (and any other must see cultural experiences). We will be renting a house in Lahinch July 4-18. Some things that we are already thinking of doing are: seeing some of the sessions at the Willie Clancy festival; a one day bike tour of the Dingle peninsula; and even visiting some of the tourist traps like Bunratty castle and Killarney national park. We will see some of the touristy stuff, but would really like to experience the traditional Ireland that isn't in the guidebooks also. We want to see some trad music and go on hikes around ancient settlements and just plain see Ireland (so, we will be willing to go all around the country)I have seen other people ask for places to go and they have gotten some great responses. Thanks in advance for all your help!
