Eileen has established herself as the pre-eminent exponent of the Irish fiddle in the world today. A native of New York, with a strong Irish family background and second home in Mayo, Eileen is really excited to show off the West Coast of Ireland to her fans.
Our journey will bring us to Ireland’s most magical address, Dromoland Castle. Dromoland has been welcoming guests since the 16th century. The ancestral home of the O’Briens of Dromoland, whose lineage dates back 1,000 years to Brian Boru, one of the last High Kings of Ireland. You will be transported back in time for 4 very exciting nights of music by the open fire and plenty more to explore ( https://www.dromoland.ie/ ).
We will head north to Lough Eske Castle, a castle with a long history which is wrapped in the story of Co. Donegal and Ireland. Powerful 14th century clans of Donegal the O'Donnells had their seat here, wealthy landowners ruled from here and Edwardian glamour was played out. In 1861 the new Lough Eske Castle, as we know it today, was built on the site of the old Brooke Mansion. ( https://www.lougheskecastlehotel.com/ ) .
Join Eileen and a host of friends and experience traditional music at its best during an unforgettable trip along the Wild Atlantic Way. Meet some of the region’s best known musicians as they join Eileen for dedicated intimate and informal sessions each evening.
The ‘5-Star Castle Tour’ is a 7 night cultural, sightseeing & musical experience ... more importantly, there will be great ‘craic’. We limit the time on the coach as we visit locations steeped in music such as Mayo, Galway, Donegal and Clare. Enjoy the spectacular scenery the west of Ireland has to offer and visit world famous locations such as The Cliffs of Moher, Sliabh Liag Cliffs, Glenveagh National Park and Doolin. Experience a warm Irish welcome in luxury 5* castles.
Places are limited to approx. 40 people and everyone will travel on the same bus as Eileen.
Music on the Wild Atlantic Way

The Wild Atlantic Way is a tourism trail on the West Coast of Ireland. The stunning 2,500km of coastline offers breathtaking scenery, invigorating sea swells, gastronomic gems and a warm welcoming atmosphere. The WAW is a haven for traditional Irish musicians. In every town, village and remote townland dotted along the Western Coast, there is a wealth of traditional Irish music sessions to be enjoyed. These sessions are informal and often impromptu, making the Wild Atlantic Way a little piece of music heaven
Music Tours
All our tour groups are accompanied by professional Irish musicians. The highlight of the day is the ‘mini concert’ dedicated to the group. These sessions will feature local musicians who will share music and stories in an informal and intimate environment.
