“Flutes and fiddles everywhere; if it’s music you want, you should go to Clare.”
Though the folk festival celebrated in Christy Moore’s song is long gone, there will be flutes and fiddles, not to mention concertinas, accordions, whistles, uilleann pipes, and harps absolutely everywhere next week at a gathering of a different hue not 20 miles from Lisdoonvarna.
