Willie Keane was Doonbeg's best known
personality and a great exponent of traditional dancing.
He came to prominence with the Mullagh
Set which won numerous competitions throughout Ireland.
After frequent appearances on TV, he toured
the U.S. with Clare's best-known traditional artists and regularly
taught set dancing at the Willie Clancy Summer School.
His passing away in 1998 has left a huge
void in Doonbeg. This weekend of music, song and dance is our tribute
to him.
