The headline concert by the Co. Clare fiddler – widely acclaimed as one of the finest players in the world – was highly anticipated and did not disappoint.
Steeped in the East Clare tradition Mr. Hayes moved to Chigaco in the 1980s and became a fixture on the city’s famous music scene.
He achieved international cross-over success as a member of The Gloaming.
