Musician Mike Harding’s ‘quirky’ Connemara cottage that hosted many a music session for €450,000

He might have added that he is also an accomplished trad musician and, if all the other careers fail him, he could put housebuilder on the list, because when he fell in love with the cottage overlooking Cleggan beach, it was little more than a ruin.

Friends from the music world came over the years, and I have great memories of the music and the craic, the half-door open and Dezi Donnelly playing his fiddle, the sounds going out across the fields and cows lifting their heads to listen.” It takes its title from the UK 1896 census, which covered Ireland at that time. “Out of the 3.5 million population,” Harding says, “there were three Muslim people, all living in the one household, and one Zoroastrian man. I pictured him, tending the fire on his own.”
