Clancy Summer School |

Willie Clancy
lived most of his later life in Miltown
Malbay. He was the best known traditional
musician in Ireland, especially noted for
his beautiful rendering of slow airs on
the uilleann pipes. He also excelled on
the concert flute and the tin whistle. An
Irish speaker, he had an extensive repertoire
of Irish songs and stories and was well
versed in the local folklore.
The Scoil
Samhraidh Willie Clancy is Ireland's
largest traditional music summer school,
held annually since 1973, in Miltown Malbay,
in memory of the piper Willie Clancy. During
the week, nearly a thousand students from
every part of the world attend daily classes
taught by experts in Irish music and dance.
In addition, a full program of lectures,
recitals, dances (céilithe) and exhibitions
are run by the summer school. All events
are held in and near Miltown Malbay.
The area of Clare has more musicians for
head of population in Ireland. Many of the
most influential traditional musicians in
Ireland have come from West Clare. |
