Fiddle

The fiddle is the mainstay of instruments used in traditional music in SW Donegal, and many notable players have come from this region, including Kilcar's own Francie 'Dearg' and Mickey 'Ban' O'Beirne. The tradition is very much being kept alive by contemporary generations, and below you can hear some samples of the style of traditional music local to the area...
