Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1273  Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this Tuesday morning, the first one in July.

The weather is far from summery since the month began.  But nevertheless fruit trees are weighted down  fruit and grain and other crops in the fields look very lush and bountiful. The dry weather in June made easy work for all those involved in saving turf, and it is great to see loads of same being hauled home, to tide them over in the winter ahead. And the big plus is that we don’t have to water the flowers.

So we have, as usual, a lot to be grateful for.

 

This is the week when all music lovers will cross the Shannon for a week of traditional music and dance, meeting of old friends and making new ones at the Willie Clancy Week in lovely Milltown Malbay  Co. Clare. The weather is never a problem, if its fine they play, sing or dance, their hearts out in the open. If its not they find places to get in and enjoy themselves indoors .

But one thing is sure it will be a great week.

The Willie Clancy Summer School will provide classes for young and not so young to learn music on many instruments as well as a variety of Set dances.  And traditional lore and we wish the Willie Clancy Week  continued success in the years ahead.
