Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is the largest group involved in the preservation and promotion of Irish traditional music. We’re a non-profit cultural movement with hundreds of local branches around the world, and as you can read in our history we’ve been working for the cause of Irish music since the middle of the last century (1951 to be precise). Our efforts continue with increasing zeal as the movement launches itself into the 21st century.

Wexford Trad & Folk Weekend 2020 takes place Feb 28 - March 1. The format will be broadly similar to the inaugural running of the event earlier this year: lunchtime, afternoon and evening concerts and sessions, workshops, lectures, pop-up Gaeltacht, historical tours of the town. There will be a big focus on the music of Wexford and on the great crop of young Wexford musicians that is coming through. Wexford Arts Centre is working with us this time and the centre will be the hq for the festival over the weekend. Programme details will be posted asap.
Craobh Loch Garman is delighted to announce the first Wexford Trad and Folk Fest, taking place March 1-3, 2019. We have a great weekend of music lined up for you.
