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. |

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 |

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. |
