Quin, County Clare
Quin () is a village in southeast County Clare, Ireland. The name also refers to a civil parish in the barony of Bunratty Upper, and to an ecclesiastical parish of the same name.

The abbey was built on the foundations of an earlier Norman castle; the foundations of three corner towers can still be seen. The village is located in the townland sometimes known as Plassey.

O'Quin recorded his first song at the age of 15 and was signed by Capitol Records. He later relocated to California. His recording career reached its peak between 1950 and 1955. O'Quin's voice was high and nasally and had a twang evocative of Little Jimmy Dickens. He cut many novelty songs and boogie-woogie records.

His career was eclipsed with the advent of rock and roll but he did not successfully make the transition as rockabilly artists did. O'Quin died when his car was hit by a ...
