Publisher's Synopsis

This book is the first comprehensive examination of the history and evolution of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann (All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil). As a transformative cultural phenomenon, the Fleadh was central to the revival for Irish traditional music during from 1951 to 1969. Reflecting broader patterns of Irish life and society, this book charts the genesis and development phases of the Fleadh in the 1950s and the challenges of identity which the Fleadh experienced in the 1960s.
