Taobh na Mara Céilí Band was formed in 2017 by a group of friends, who down through the years have played together at fleadhanna and festivals throughout the country. Although based in Dungarvan, County Waterford, the band’s members come from the Munster counties of Waterford, Cork, Clare and Kerry. Each member brings their own unique style to the band and are delighted when they get to come together to perform as Taobh na Mara. They were thrilled to win the senior céilí band competition in Mullingar in 2022 and take the Dal gCais down to The Déise for the first time in history. The band are looking forward to a series of upcoming concerts this year and have just finished recording their debut album.
