A Clare musical family will be profiled on TG4 on Sunday night (tomorrow).

Sé mo Laoch, TG4’s flagship traditional music series, tells the story of some of Irelands greatest musicians and singers. Each of the 5 one-hour documentaries celebrates the musicianship and creativity of some of our most well-known and respected performers.
