Spink Comhaltas has promoted traditional Irish music in secondary schools in Laois, Kilkenny, Carlow and Kildare since 2011.

In 2022, we were delighted to be able to partner with St Paul’s secondary school, Monasterevin.  The inaugural winners of the Spink Traditional music awards are Sophie Murray Ward (Ceoltóir Traidisiúnta Sóisearach, Coláiste Naomh Pól – Junior Award) and Aine O’Leary (Ceoltóir Traidisiúnta Sinsearach, Coláiste Naomh Pól – Senior Award).  They are pictured here with their music teacher, Sinead Blake.
