- Custy's Traditional Music Shop
Custy's Traditional Music Shop, which opened in 1992 was the brainchild of Frances Custy who saw the need for a niche shop to supply the ever-growing interest in quality Traditional Irish music. It's location in a county recognised universally as the epicentre of Traditional Irish music, with household names like Micko Russell, the Kilfenora and Tulla Céili Bands, helped to establish it firmly in the minds of people near and far. The shop stocks a varied selection of musical instruments to suit all needs. They also stock an extensive selection of CDs and cassettes along with a having a substantial book section. Pride of place in the shop goes to local and independently produced releases, an area which seems to be thriving in Co.Clare.
