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.
Gay McKeon, CEO of Na Píobairí Uilleann, is on a mission to convert more musicians to the uilleann pipes. Armed with his trusty set of Leo Rowsome pipes he has already made a couple of visits to Wexford as guest of the recently reformed Wexford Pipers Club. The main aim is to give musicians a hands-on introduction to the pipes. He will be back to us again in the new year. Keep an eye on FB for details.
