about
Chris Comhaill is a musician and composer from a seaside town in Dublin, Ireland. His work is often focused on the intersection of tradition, modernity and mortality. It draws on the traditional, ecological, and ancestral resonances that echo through both ancient landscapes and modern life.
Described by The Irish Times as “an exciting, fresh endeavour”, he builds musical worlds rooted in Celtic tradition yet shaped by contemporary sensibility. His story-driven performances blur the line between past and present, inviting listeners to reflect on the hidden rhythms, memories, and emotional undercurrents woven into the music—and into everyday life.
Chris enjoys a schedule of regular performing, touring, teaching and producing. When you can't find him in the studio or rehearsal room then he is likely swimming at one of his favourite spots along the Dublin coastline.
“Chris Comhaill is a boundary-pushing guitarist and composer whose work blends Celtic tradition with classical finesse, global influences, and improvisational flair”
