Quality tuition is at the heart of Ballyboy Comhaltas.  Our current programme of classes caters for a wide variety of musical instruments, traditional singing, storytelling and dancing.  From junior to senior, beginner to advanced, everyone is welcome to enrol in our classes. Student achievement in the competitive arena has been significant.  This is a high achieving branch.  (Participation in competition is optional).  Fleadh Cheoil Uíbh Fhailí, Fleadh Laighean and Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann are important markers on our social and competitive landscape.  Successes have been well documented in solo and group competitions – testament, perhaps, to the calibre of teaching and work ethic within our branch.

Our Tutors are all experienced and accomplished musicians ,very considerate of each individual pupil needs, their attention to detail, motivation and dedication to work in Classes  is exemptional and highly regarded by all past and present pupils alike.  A list of our Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann Champions and medalists from 2002 are listed below. Monthly junior and senior sessions provide all the benefits inherent in group participation, improving performance and boosting self-confidence/social skills.  Our Annual Concert is a showcase event enjoyed by our student members, branch members and the wider community.  Members perform at various fundraising events, charity events, local and not so local festivals, concerts and ceremonies.  Our musicians and dancers have performed at many prestigious events including the visit of Uachtarán na hÉireann, Michael D. Higgins, to the Tullamore Agricultural Show in 2016.  Memorable Gig Rig performances include Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann 2009 and 2022 and Fleadh TV on TG4 also in 2022. Members have performed admirably on television, radio and social media.
