Publisher's Synopsis

Miltown Malbay is a small town on Ireland's Atlantic west coast, which, since 1973, becomes for one week each year the traditional Irish music capital of the world. The crowded main street echoes with a plethora of languages and dialects, the bars are full to bursting point, and the sounds of jigs, reels and hornpipes fill the summer air. Here is an evocation in pictures and words of this remarkable community of Irish music enthusiasts, drawn together by the urge to learn music, to play music, to dance, to each and to listen. Illustrated throughout.
