Day Five Of Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy

On Friday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey presented a piece by Clare FM’s Therese McInerney. Therese took a trip to Miltown Malbay to witness day five of the Willie Clancy Summer School. The Willie Clancy Summer School is a week-long summer school in traditional music and set dance held annually at Miltown Malbay, Co. Clare. Therese met Lizz Doherty who had previously joined Therese on the West Winds show here at Clare FM. Lizz discussed a new course she is running as part of Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy this year. Afterwards she interviewed Senan Lillas. Senan highlighted how he has never missed the Willie Clancy Summer School and explained how much it means to him. Mark Burke also joined the conversation and himself and Therese reminisced the times they would go to Cleary's Bar growing up.
