Hello, how are you doing today? Hope I find you feeling healthy,
I'm from the states and i came across this site looking up irish music.. well anyway, im a bit curious to hear about the land my great-grandparents came from.. county clare (and dublin.. but i havn't heard much bout county clare, hence why im asking bout it.) the reason why im posting here is because the regional board hasn't been posted in for a long time and i wanted to write where someone will see this. and anyway, id love to see this county someday, ive still got some family over there thatd be nice to meet hmm, soo.. is there anyone from county clare on the boards?

thank you all so very very much for you time.

cheers,

fairly dull place alright.

go to peppers bar in feakle for a trad muzak session... steer well clear of ennis...

thus concludes tman's guide to clare.

Clare is a gorgeous county!! yes i'm from there but by jaysus (says the culchie in me) it far more scenic than most counties in ireland (carlow, wicklow, leitrim, limerick, tipperary to name but a few boring counties)

Not only has it got fabulous scenery like the Cliffs of Mother and the Burren but its also the Traditional Irish Music capital or Ireland.

Ennis is actually a nice town. Never though i'd say that myself having grown up there but it is imo. The County Council have really made the effort in the last few years to make the town more attractive, particularly in summer when there are lots music festivals on in the town and the county.

Check out http://www.county-clare.com for loads of more info on places to see and things to do in Clare.

Yeah Clare is definitely one of my favourite parts of the country.

Cliffs of Moher,
Ailwee Caves,
Burren,
Listonvarna (sp) Christie Moore song.

thank you, thank you,
i wasn't aware that county clare was the traditional irish music capital of ireland, good to know. makes it even more interesting for me, well, b/c i love music a lot.
hmm so do most people know how to play an instrument? seems like its the popular thing to do

really is beautful, someday i'll get over there, maybe play a jig or two (hmm, are there also traditional irish dancers? i used to take irish dance ) meet some relatives... (u know any considines? thats the family name from clare, but theres a lot of considens so i've heard )

anyway, thanks for the information u have given me and the pictures to look at, and the sites to see, i'll just wait for the day that i can see these all for myself

have a pleasant evening
cheers,
Beth
