Frank Whelan, Chair of Fleadh Nua,
Ennis, speaks about Willie Keane. "Set dancing brought the
music to life. It would be unthinkable to have music without
dancing." "Willie Keane brought the art of set dancing
to a new level and he was also instrumental in bringing the Clare style
to a national audience.
"Joe
Hurley, local historian. "... his entrance into a lounge bar
made heads turn and brought a hush to the crowd now gripped with
feelings of eager expectation." "Willie... drummed out
his battering rhythms to the cheers and applause of all present."
Mick Mulkerrin, Sligo. "He
was an interesting, humble and gracious man who understood music and knew how
to interpret that music with this feet."
