"Listening to the music captured on the CDs and reading the story of the families and the music of the Ennistymon area transports us back to the unique relationship and interconnection between traditional and dance band musicians, as they entertained the population of Clare and beyond in the 40s, 50s and 60s.
 
We were introduced to this world of music and dance through our wives to be in 1964, and this publication is timely and comprehensive. Here you can meet some of the people who played with passion and cared for their music. They left a distinctive stamp on that vibrant style."
