Clare will continue to be a force in traditional music for years to come if you were to measure on the County’s success during the Fleadh.
As reported in The Clare Herald ’s extensive coverage during Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann Inis 2016 the County did extremely well in the competitions. This was reflected by the amount of titles staying in Clare.
Loretto O’Loughlin captured all the winners on camera.
