“Celtgrass.” The band is com-
posed of two sets of brothers,
Enda and Fergal Scahill and
Martin and David Howley.
The members of the band
have been highly success-

seven All Ireland titles on the

David have also been hon-

In 2016, the band was
selected to play for President
Barack Obama and Taoiseach
Enda Kenny at the annual
“Friends of Ireland” luncheon
held in Washington, D.C.

President Obama praised
the band’s show, calling it,
