Willie Keane "Dance Master" by Jimmy Noctor (1995)


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.

Join us for the 9th Annual
Willie Keane Memorial Weekend
in Doonbeg, Co Clare!


There will be videos for sale featuring
footage of Willie dancing over the years
