Formed in 1987 the Waterford Comhaltas Ceili Band is a unique group of musicians who have been playing at the Monday night ceili in Waterford City every week for fifteen years. The resulting music is timeless and beautifully traditional, with a solid rhythm, classic tunes and smooth changes. The dancing is a delight.

The band has also been invited to play for ceilis in Dublin by Seán Clerkin and in Kilfenora by John Vaughan. They were featured on RTÉ's Ceili House in 1993 and in 2002 recorded a CD, Irish Traditional Entertainment from Waterford City. The band has also played at all All-Ireland Fleadhs over the past fifteen years.
