About
Join us at the Burnavon Theatre, Cookstown on Friday 12th March 2026
The evening commences at 8pm sharp.
The Blackwater Céilí Band hails from the Clogher Valley region of County Tyrone, in the heart of Ulster's musical landscape. Since their formation in 2015, the band have risen to prominence and are widely recognised as one of the finest exponents of Irish Traditional Music. They bring boundless energy and passion to every performance, creating fresh musical interpretations with distinctive character and detail, firmly rooted in the Ulster tradition.
In 2018, the Blackwater made history, becoming the first band from County Tyrone to claim the prestigious Senior All-Ireland Céilí Band title at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Drogheda. Consequently, they became one of only three Ulster bands to accomplish this feat, cementing their place in the annals of céilí band folklore. Following this landmark success, the band have toured extensively across Ireland and Europe, bringing their signature sound and rhythmical musical style to many captivated audiences. They have also featured alongside many household names including Sean Keane, Nathan Carter, and Cherish the Ladies.
There will also be performances from children from the Traditional Music in Schools Programme with Donald Canavan and Ryan McGarrity (supported through Mid Ulster District Council Arts Programme).
