Comhalas Ceoltoiri Eireann is a worldwide organization dedicated
to the preservation and enjoyment of traditional Irish music, dance,
and the Irish language. The very active Rochester, NY, chapter has
a lot going on all the time: traditional music jams, country dancing,
music and language workshops, and much more! This is their first
CD release - make that TWO CDs!
On this double CD release there are 2 Compact Discs including
54 tracks of 77 songs performed by a variety of combinations of
75 musicians - what an undertaking! And there is something for
everyone - jigs, reels, ballads, traditional, contemporary, and
even some original music performed on all the instruments
generally associated with the Celtic tradition. There are
soloists, duos, trios, bands, and choral groups - and performers
of all ages, including Rochester's most venerated Irishman,
Marty O'Keefe, who is on the way to being a centenarian!
The songs titles follow: keep scrolling to see the list of
performers. The oversized CD insert includes information about
CCE and all the performers, and even includes a photo of each one.
Slainte! And happy listening!
