This weeks guest is singer/songwriter Larry de Cleir.

Larry De Cleir is writing songs and playing them in Folk Clubs for almost 40 years.
He first sang his songs in what were then new Folk and Traditional Clubs in Ireland in the early 70’s, that is, places like the Universal Folk Club in Dublin and the famed Pat Dowling’s in Prosperous Co. Kildare.
In Limerick in the early 90’s he was a member of the Full Circle Folk Club which used to meet on Monday nights in the Glentworth Hotel, and from that there is an unbroken line to the Castleconnell Folk Club in Co. Limerick of which he is a founder member. This club, which meets on Tuesday nights, will celebrate it’s 15th Anniversary next month i.e. 17th Aug 10.
Larry has one album to his credit, ‘The Dog That Heard The Bell’ a well-received album of songs and tunes many of which have a ‘Shannonside’ theme, that is, Limerick and East Clare, of which Larry is a native.
Scríobhann Larry amhráin as Gaelige freisin.
