About Killeeshil
Hailing from the greater Boston area, Irish traditional music group Killeeshil, named for a beautiful region of Ulster, features a troupe of experienced musicians - Michael Hamill, Harry Wagg, Eileen Yarrison, and Antanas Meilus who have collaborated for many years.
We offer lively jigs and reels, slow and beautiful airs, fun singalong songs and more. We happily cover the eastern half of Massachusetts with greater Boston as our home base. Please contact us for more information or to inquire about bookings.
