Musical tour to celebrate impact that Travellers have had on trad
A celebration of the enormous contribution Travellers make to traditional Irish music will take place in Ennis next month. Following last year’s two-week musical journey in traditional barrel-top wagons, this year The Long Grazing Acre tours to three separate locations in Donegal, Clare and Louth, each focusing on a different musical Traveller family. The tour will be led by world renowned uilleann piper and co-founder of the iconic Bothy Band, Paddy Keenan, along with musicians descended from other famous musical Traveller families.
