Kitty Hayes
Kitty Smith Hayes (1928 – 17 May 2008) was a well-known concertina-player in Shanaway, Milltown Malbay, County Clare, Ireland.
Hayes was born in the townland of Fahanlunaghta, close to Lahinch. She was the daughter of Peter Smith, a locally well-known concertina player. Hayes started playing at a young age, attracted to the music played by her father. When she mastered the basics, Peter Smith bought her her own concertina. She started playing at local dances.
On one these local dances she met whistle and flute player Josie Hayes, who played in the Laichtín Naofa Céilí Band. They later married and raised seven children. Josie Hayes died in 1992. Hayes often played at Gleeson's Pub in Coore.
