German Man Who Ran Away To Clare Aged 14
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
For most 14-year-olds, running away to another country is just a dream.
But back in 1980, German teenager Michael Denninger packed a tent, grabbed his guitar, and travelled alone across Europe to County Clare after meeting two Irish sisters on holiday.
What followed was a summer of music, adventure, and friendships that would last a lifetime — and a love of Clare that still inspires him today.
Alan Morrissey had a chat with Michael on Thursday's Morning Focus.
