It has been reported on the "Mudcat Cafe" website that Ollie Conway, singer and set-dancer, and former host of "Conways" in Mullagh, co.Clare, has sadly passed away. Ollie was a gentleman,a fine dancer and singer and the most genial of hosts. Most of the best sessions I ever heard took place in Conway's during the Willie Clancy week, particularly throughout the 1980s. I am sure there are many here with fond memories of Ollie as well. May he rest in peace.
Ollie Conway...RIP
