We've been told for years that west Clare, Sliabh Luachra and Donegal are where it's at in terms of trad, but is that still the case? Doireann delves into the music scene in less recognized areas, musically speaking, to see who is playing, what they are playing and where the craic is at. She heads to Dundalk, west Limerick and north Clare, but first she checks out what's on her own doorstep, in Dublin's North side.
