A selection of twenty top class performers in all fields have been assembled to display the highest standards and regional styles that have become synonymous with these events through the years. These are the same performers who have already thrilled audiences throughout the length and breadth of Ireland during the Comhaltas Irish Tour in October 2007.
This is an opportunity for you to hear and see traditional music, song and dance at its purest, best and most exciting so be sure to catch a performance by the group coming to a venue near you.
