Know of any good events in Ireland in September?

I'm planning to do a bit of a wander round the quieter bits of Ireland in September, with a focus on song/music. Anyone know of any good local song sessions, festivals, workshops, gigs, etc taking place anywhere?

At the moment, it's a blank canvas - so would also welcome any recommendations as to which areas I'm likely to come across some good playing/singing. Not interested in "Celtic" stuff, or things put on specifically for tourists.

Thanks
Sue

Sometimes great people do the tourist stuff, I wouldn't dismiss it! You might enjoy the http://www.tullatradfestival.com/ and Ennis is not far where you will definitely find music & song and info.

There are regular singing sessions in East Clare. They change location. Pm and I will put you in touch with one of the organisers.
