Renowned Kilmaley musician Peadar O’Loughlin is being remembered as ‘a mentor’.
The prolific musician died yesterday after a long career in traditional music – known for playing the flute, the fiddle and the uileann pipes.
He had been a staple on the music scene in Clare and further afield since the 1940s and was featured on a 1959 LP which was one of the first recordings of its kind of traditional Irish music.
