Association of Traditional Irish
Musicians
Al Rehn,Lou Hillman,Ted McGraw,and Sean Walker
were player's who gathered at the McGinnity's Restaurant and Party House
for monthly music sessions for the Comhaltas Ceoltoriri Eireann, the Association
of Traditional Irish Musicians. They play all year long not just when St.
Patrick's day come's around.
There are many traditional Irish musician's in
Rochester. They want to keep the traditional culture and make sure it is
passed on.
Ted McGraw Has been in music sessions with 17
fiddlers. He has sat in on these session's for more than 20 years.

"Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann"
Our city has an energetic branch of the International
Association of Traditional Irish Musicians. In the Gaelic language it is
called "Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann."
Branches are on every continent except Antarctica
because Irish people have brought their culture with them. Membership includes
Jews, Moslems, Catholics and Protestants.
