Ceol Gan Eagla is a collective of passionate musicians dedicated to Irish traditional music and song — played with energy, respect, and real heart. We’re rooted in the session tradition, but we’re not afraid to bring a fresh lift to the tunes.
Many of our players have trained to a high standard in traditional performance, with backgrounds that include instrument craft and repair. That mix of musicality and knowledge of the instruments gives our sound its punch, warmth, and character — whether we’re driving reels, lifting a song, or holding the room with a slow air.
What you can expect: tight rhythm, strong melody, rich harmony, and a proper session feel — delivered with confidence.
Our sound is built around the classic Irish session lineup — layered melody, rhythm, and song — including:
Fiddle
Bodhrán
Banjo
Bass
Octave Mandolin
Guitar
Tin Whistles
Bouzouki
Mandolin
Accordion
Concertina
And our main instrument: the voice
