This area is rich in tradition. Many of the residents continue to cut turf (peat) for use in heating their homes during the long winter months. Sean Nós singing is still performed locally, and is rarely heard outside the area. Raidió na Gaeltachta is the local Irish-language radio station and many local singers and musicians can be heard through their website.
