 Musical information for Milltown County Kerry Ireland
Milltown has developed an outstanding reputation in not only the local area but also in Kerry and Munster because of its strong links with traditional Irish music.
The theory from local historians is that the village is flanked by An Abha Solais – the River of Clear Water in the light - to the west and the Chapel River (Uisce Bodhar or Muddy Waters) to the east.
The festival is Milltown’s special effort to pass on the music, culture and song that was so precious to generations of emigrants who left the area.

KERRY, a maritime county of the province of MUNSTER, bounded on the east by the counties of Limerick and Cork, on the north by the estuary of the Shannon (which seperates it from Clare), on the west by the Atlantic, and on the south by the same ocean and the county of Cork.
The county is included in the Munster circuit: the assizes and general quarter sessions are held at Tralee, and quarter sessions are also held at Killarney, in the former of which towns are the county courthouse and the county gaol; and there are bridewells at Cahirciveen, Castleisland, Dingle, Kenmare, Killarney, Listowel, Milltown and Tarbert.
A great disadvantage which the entire county labours under is the want of means for exporting its produce: there are but few quays, so that it loses nearly all the advantages of its maritime situation.
