Ceoltoiri Crosskeys was founded in the summer of 1998 when the 'Crosskeys' 12-15 Grupa Cheoil qualified to represent Ulster at the All-Ireland Fleadh. The infamous 'green' shirts were born and made their first appearance on stage in Ballina. After the Fleadh the 'Ceoltoiri Crosskeys' title was expanded to include all playing members. |
