The Hooley provides the unique opportunity for musicians and fans alike to come together to celebrate and keep alive the great history of this music in Chicago.
This month’s Hooley will feature Rory Makem (of The Makem and Spain Brothers and son of Tommy Makem), Sean Cleland, Jim DeWan and members of the vast community of traditional Irish musicians and students from the Chicagoland area.
