Ceol Ceili comes from the Gaelic "Ceol", meaning music, and "Ceili", meaning gathering or hoolie. A Ceol Ceili performance takes you from traditional Irish and Scottish dance music through Ireland's favorite ballads. Since the group formed three years ago, they have gained much popularity in the Pikes Peak area.
Ron Sommers (fiddle, mandolin, banjo), Heidi McClure (hammered dulcimer, mandolin, and bodhran), Kari Walker (vocals, tin whistle, flute, and bodhran), and Steve Hart (guitar, vocals, and bodhran)comprise the group. They have appeared at the Pikes Peak Folk Festival, The Pikes Peak Highland Game and Celtic Festival, The Colorado Irish Festival, The Scottish Festival, Snake River Brewery in Lander, Wyoming and Red Lodge Montana, Black Rose Acoustic Society and Mountain Acoustic Music Association concerts, and currently play regularly at Jack Quinn's Irish Pub and Ale House in Colorado Springs
