The Clare Festival of Traditional Singing (originally called the Ennistymon Festival of Traditional Singing) took place in Ennistymon on the June bank holiday weekend from 1990 to 2002 and part of each festival was the Grand Concert held in the Teach Ceoil. Folklorist and song collector Tom Munnelly, who passed away last year, recorded each of these concerts and a CD, entitled 'Cascades of Song', will be launched on Saturday May 17th 2008, at 8pm at the Bellbridge Hotel, Spanish Point. It includes some of the best singers of traditional song in Ireland and beyond, such as Roisín Elsafty from Connemara, the late Con Greaney of Co. Limerick, Nonie Lynch from Mullagh and many more. Many of the singers who appear on the CD will attend, and the evening promises to be a feast of singing and music – all are welcome. The CD is a fitting tribute also to the late Maureen Rynne who sadly passed away last year and was co-founder of the festival with Anthony Edwards of Clare County Library. Further details may be obtained from Annette Munnelly at 065 708 4365.
