Wild Atlantic Music Tours

Wild Atlantic Music Tours is a specialist tour operator based in Ennis, County Clare, offering guided holidays built around traditional Irish music, culture and sightseeing along the Wild Atlantic Way. Rather than a single attraction, it arranges multi-night touring experiences that pair daytime visits to historical and cultural sites with evening sessions of live traditional music.

The company’s tours are led and accompanied by working Irish musicians, who travel with the group and take part in the music sessions along the way. Over the years the operator has been associated with well-known names in Irish traditional music, including Sharon Shannon, Eileen Ivers, Kevin Crawford, Kevin Burke and Socks in the Frying Pan. Alongside the music, itineraries can take in visits to traditional instrument makers, set-dancing and storytelling, as well as time in local music pubs.

Tours are open to both individuals and groups, and to musicians and non-musicians alike. Options range from a shorter County Clare tour to a longer itinerary following more of the Wild Atlantic Way, with transport, accommodation and a full itinerary arranged as part of the package. Groups are welcomed on arrival by a tour director.

Full details of current tours, dates and how to book are best confirmed directly with the operator via its website.
