Irelandâs rich musical heritage will be showcased at Clare Museum in Ennis during Fleadh Cheoil na hĂireann with an exhibition of some Irelandâs oldest known musical instruments spanning more than 6000 years.
The cultural legacy and reputation of both Fleadh Cheoil na hĂireann and Ennis will be hugely enriched by the two-year magical shared experience that culminates this week, Shannon Group Deputy CEO Mary Considine has said.
Fleadh Cheoil na hĂireann is the largest Irish Traditional Music Festival in the world, attracting hundreds of thousands of Irish music, song and dance enthusiasts from all over the globe.
Passengers at Shannon Airport were left in no doubt that the biggest traditional Irish music event of the year will get underway in Co Clare in just over a weeks time.
âItâs In Your Natureâ is the main theme of Heritage Week 2017 with a record 102 events taking place around County Clare from 19 August to 27 August.
Over 600 pupils, from both primary and secondary schools, including Co Clare, gathered in the Pavilion at Leopardstown racecourse in Dublin to attend the presentation of An Ghaelbhratach.
