Description
The May Bank Holiday weekend brought a new burst of life to Miltown Malbay, as a brand-new festival celebrating traditional Irish music made its debut.
Led by renowned musician Joanie Madden, the May Day Festival has already been hailed as a major success—giving local businesses a welcome boost and earning comparisons to a “Mini Willie Clancy.”
With music, dancing, workshops and sessions filling the town, there’s already talk of this becoming a major annual event in West Clare.
On Thursday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Joanie Madden herself, and Mickey Wilson of Friels, to look back on a very special weekend.
