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.

She has also toured and recorded with various artists.

All Ireland Trio Competition Winners. Gearoid & Sean Keane and Cormac Murphy are the Trio winners for the 2007 Competition. Craobh Bheartla Ui Fhlatharta is the name of their branch in Leixlip/Celbridge. Cormac, Seán and Gearóid have been playing as a trio for the last few years but have been playing together for a long time, thanks to their Comhaltas branch particularly in grúpaí ceols, céilí bands, etc.

They have won numerous other competitions and have toured overseas including Sweden and France playing music and hope to travel a lot more!

They have made various TV and radio appearances and countless concert performances, including in France and Sweden.
