Cois na hAbhna
About
Cois na hAbhna is the regional resource centre of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann for Clare and the wider region, and the place to find the genuine article in traditional music, song and dance. On the Gort Road just out from the centre, it runs classes, archives and, in the summer, regular seisiúns and céilís open to visitors. If you want the tradition at its source rather than a pub session laid on for the room, this is where to look. Check the current programme by phone or online, as events are seasonal and scheduled.
