Subject: RE: Help: Liam Clancy festival From: Crazy Eddie Date: 08 Nov 00 - 06:17 AM Michael, Are you perhaps thinking of the WILLIE CLANCY festival, in Clare every July? I've been away for a good few years, but return regularly. I haven't heard of a Liam Clancy festival, I I think someone in the family, knowing my musical tastes, would have told me; unless it is very new. Regards, Eddie |

Mike ps I know it's in July. |
Subject: RE: Help: Liam Clancy festival From: Crazy Eddie Date: 08 Nov 00 - 07:53 AM Well Michael, Here's a link to Willie Clancy's story.http://www.irishmusicweb.ie/texts/clancy.w.html The festival in his memory is held every July (not sure of date) in Miltown Malbay, Co. Clare. Lots of Music & Craic. I was there a few years ago. The second weekend was so crowded it was hard to get into the pubs. However, during the week, I was able to hear people like Sharon Shannon, Johnny Leary, Brendan Begly (& that's just a few of the box players) playing in pub sessions. PS, don't go if you like to go to bed early!!!! Eddie |
Subject: RE: Help: Liam Clancy festival From: GUEST,bigJ Date: 08 Nov 00 - 02:39 PM Tommy was due to organise some sort of festival come cummer-school at the Ti Chuhulainn, a splendid new arts centre in Mullaghbawn earlier this year. Whether it occurred or not I don't know. Over to you John Moulden. |

He appeared at last years session to great acclaim. I'm sure that if it happens again he'll be there, at least I hope so. It was on in June. |
