The final event has gone online :
the Big Saturday Concert. Always a bit of a long haul, tiredness taking its toll at that stage of the week, but every man and his dog going on and it isn't really over until Cór Cuil Aodha has sung Mo Ghile Mear.
ITMA had a technical hitch filming the 2019 concert so 2017 is up instead.

Clare has not seen any Covid-19 cases for a month so maybe, perhaps, Willie will be back in real time next year.
