Our branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Eireann was founded in September 2011and is based in Crossmaglen Cathal Bui was a very popular balladeer/poet of his day.

The name 'An Bonnán Buí' comes from a very famous Irish poem of the same name written by the Irish poet Cathal Mac Giolla Gunna, described by many as one of the four most prominent of the south Ulster and north Leinster poets. It’s a truly beautiful traditional Irish song dating from the early 18th century.

All Ireland Fleadh Programmes - 1994 and 2026. Like me, it's gained a few pounds!

🌟SUPERSTARS🌟

We are so proud of these ten young people. They're the best bunch of young musicians to be in the company of. It was a pleasure to watch them onstage tonight, not just because of the music they produced, but because you can tell they just love it.

3rd place on an All Ireland stage is some going and they'll always be number 1 in their supporters eyes!
Silver Lining - they now have to give us another night out next year💪😉

UP THE COLLA!
