The McPeake family has been influencing traditional music in Ireland and around the world since the mid-1900s and continues its tradition of education and entertainment today.<\/p>\n<p>We had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with Frances McPeake III and Frances McPeake IV at Milwaukee Irish Fest, and they gave some insight as to what has gone into the making of this family legacy. You\u2019ll also hear how the family\u2019s path crossed with those of royalty and a member of a famous quartet from Liverpool and why, despite numerous difficulties and setbacks, they feel that it\u2019s of utmost importance to continue to provide traditional music education to children in Ireland today.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to learn more about the history of the McPeake family, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcpeakemusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.mcpeakemusic.com\/<\/a>.
