Piping Heaven/Piping Hell started in spring of 2015 when Blackie O’Connell, Cyril O’Donoghue, and Pat Broderick gathered for a tune in Dan O’Connell’s on a Friday afternoon. What began as an afternoon session for tourists, has since matured into a world-renowned weekly gathering of pipers from all corners of the globe. Each week, Blackie O’Connell hosts the session with an invited special guest piper. From legends of the piping tradition to learners starting their journey, PH/PH is a welcoming haven of camaraderie, fun, knowledge sharing, and community in Clare.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
