Subject: RE: Folklore: Willie Clancy week From: Bev and Jerry Date: 25 Apr 03 - 11:50 PM We were at Willy Clancy Week way back in 1990. Last year we went to Miltown Malbay (not during WC Week) and tried to find two pubs important to singers, to wit, Gleason's and McCarthy's. We got lost a lot but we're pretty sure we passed both of them and neither one is a pub anymore. Is that correct? Bev and Jerry |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Willie Clancy week From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 30 Apr 03 - 08:02 AM Miltown is a very different place outside the Willie Week! Gleeson's has a weekly session with set dancing on Sunday nights. McCarthy's , I think, only opens occasionally at the best of times. One of my more bizarre experiences in Irish Music is to leave a session in McCarthy's about two in the morning, well satisfied after a good night's singing and a few tunes, - and meet traffic heading out to the same pub to start the night in earnest! regards |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Willie Clancy week From: p.j. Date: 30 Apr 03 - 09:37 PM As a matter of fact, I'm on my way there this year. I'll be in Scotland in June & July playing at a festival in Skye and doing some research in the Western Isles. When it's done (probably 7 or 8 July) I'll make my way to Ireland and Miltown Malbay! I'm quite excited about it, will there be a Mudcat contingent? =pj= |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Willie Clancy week From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 03 Jul 03 - 08:03 AM I've been known to be in sessions during the Joe Mooney summer school and find myself having breakfast in the pub without leaving the session from the night before! FAB! Walking home with the birds, and then straight off to singing lessons til 12, then collapse and a sleep until it all happens again! What a week!!! |
