It wouldn’t be a proper Clare Fleadh without music!

Across the four days of the Clare Food & Drink Fleadh, people will be treated to some excellent music representing a number of genres, from trad (of course – it is Ennis after all!) to jazz, blues, rock and country. Whatever your taste, there will be a session or live gig right up your street.
