This great annual Clare festival is now in its 13th year and takes place in the village of Clarecastle just outside of Ennis. The week-long Festival runs from Sunday, 19th to Sunday, 26th July. One of the highlights of this year’s festival is the concert on Sunday 19th July when Seán Keane, (Caherlistrane singer) and his Band take to the stage in Clarecastle Church at 8.00pm Seán Keane from County Galway is decribed as one of the “greatest musical finds of the 90’s” by “The London Independent”. Traditional Irish, folk and even country and blues songs all lend themselves to his unique style and unforgettable voice. Growing up in a family of singers and musicians, Seán learned the sean-nós style of singing from his mother and his aunts. Singing was his life, even in early childhood; by the time Seán reached his teens, he had collected thirteen All-Ireland medals in Fleadh Cheoil competitions. He was by then an accomplished whistle and flute player as well and had taken up the uilleann pipes and bodhrán. Seán Keane continues to delight audiences all over the world with his live performances and recorded work. He tours regularly with his band in Ireland, Austria, Germany, the US and Canada as well as appearing at major festivals world-wide. Don’t miss this great chance to see him at the Clarecastle Crossroads Festival! The Festival concludes with Cross Roads Céilí Dancing at Kerins Cross with the Four Courts Céilí Band on Sunday, 26th July from 5.00 pm- 8.00pm.
