THE annual Trad Trathnóna series of summer concerts at Ionad Cois Locha in Dunlewey continues this Tuesday, July 29, with Louise Mulcahy.

Musical families are often the backbone of multi-generational continuity within that global community, and no musical family today is more impressive in upholding the best principles of the tradition than the Mulcahy Family.

Louise is currently completing her Masters Degree at Trinity College Dublin.
