Love:live music – Ennis presents ‘Clare Connections’ - The Kilfenora Céilí Band

“THE MIGHTY KILFENORA SHINES ANEW” Earle Hitchner, contributing writer Wall Street Journal.

No céilí band in Ireland has a longer and more lustrous history than the Kilfenora. Named after the small North Clare village where they officially formed in 1909 but with musical roots tracing back to 1870, the ensemble enjoys an unsurpassed record of All-Ireland céilí band championships: seven, including an unprecedented pair of trifectas during 1954-56 and 1993-95.

Now in its second century, the Kilfenora Céilí Band sounds as vibrant and vital as ever having recently released Chapter 8; their magnificent new recording. Chapter 8 captures a powerhouse line up at their peak and represents a new recording milestone not just for the Kilfenora but for all active traditional dance music ensembles. It is that ultimate rarity among céilí band albums: a feat for the feet and a feast for the ears.
