The Annual Comhaltas Tour of Ireland *Macalla na hÉireann* took to the road on Sunday, October 14th. This year’s tour featured fourteen concerts throughout the four corners of Ireland, from Stormont Castle to Skibbereen. A selection of twenty top class performers in all fields were assembled to display the highest standards and regional styles that have become synonymous with these events through the years. This offered an opportunity for audiences to hear and see traditional music, song and dance at its purest, best and most exciting.
