Nora Cleary lived in
The Hand, five miles from
Miltown Malbay. She inherited a love of singing from her parents and sang regularly in McCarthy’s pub in Clounlaheen. She had a great sense of fun and preferred songs that were humorous and a bit bawdy. You can enjoy
Nora’s songs – and a few from her sister Susie – as part of the
Singers and Songs of County Clare on Clare County Library's website. As Tim Dennehy says in his online article
Nora Cleary: an Appreciation: "She was a born performer". See
