The Ennis Trad Festival is a festival for those who love to hear (or play) Irish traditional music of the highest quality in its most natural setting.
Now in its fourteenth year, the festival brings together the very best of Irish traditional musicians in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
Over 20 venues host selected exponents of the music, carefully mixed and matched to ensure a choice of many great sessions. In addition, spotlight concerts every night (Thursday to Monday) feature internationally renowned bands. There are many other events too, including CD launches, recitals and céilís.
It all happens over a (very) long weekend in November, in Ennis, the capital of Ireland's premier music county - County Clare.
Updates about line-up, session trail and other events will be posted here on MySpace as well as on the festival website: www.ennistradfestival.com.

Hello mates, Hope all is well in your world and you had a wonderful holiday season. We really enjoyed playing in Ireland recently, especially in Ennis. Check out the new clip on our site from our Ireland 2007 tour - The Indulgers performing "Trouble With A Capital T" with Johnny Fean vocalist/guitarist from the legendary Irish band Horslips - one of the original celtic rock bands - in Ennis, Co. Clare. Have a fantastic new year! Your friends, The Indulgers

2 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
