'The Humours of Clare': Traditional Music from County Clare

Co. Clare is considered by most to be the home of Traditional Irish music. A place where the landscape speaks through the people, and tunes appear out of a mist in the air. This mix is a homage to time and place, a love letter to rural traditions and the humours of musicians that Clare has produced.
