Branch History
An inaugural meeting was held in St. Joseph's Community Centre, Clooniron on Wednesday 2nd February, 1977 to form a branch of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann in Kilmovee. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Joe Smyth and 26 paid up members were recorded. The subscription was 50p. The following officers were elected: Chairman: Joe Smyth, Vice-Chairman: Michael McDermott, Secretary: Michael Joe Caulfield , Treasurer: Mrs Doherty, Auditor: Mrs Eagney, Delegates to County Board: Padraic Horan, Michael-Joe Caulfield and Joe Smyth. The chairman recorded in the minutes that Kilmovee had traditional music in it's heart and that by the formation of a branch of CCE in the parish, this rich musical inheritance from generations could be revived, stimulated ans preserved for generations to come.
Today, we hope that in some way, we continue to carry on the work of that very first committee of 34 years ago. Unfortunately, Seosamh Mac Gabhainn has passed to his eternal reward, but Michael-Joe Caulfield, Frank Keane and a few more continue to guide and advise within the branch and knock us into shape whenever we lose the plot!
It is appropriate that a former pupil of Seosamh Mac Gabhann and a daughter of Michael-Joe Caulfield is our present Chairperson. Ann-Marie Caulfield has worked relentlessly to preserve and build on the rich heritage passed onto her.
With the continued success of music classes on all instruments, a monthly seisiun na nÓg and regular Cois Tine nights, the CCE branch in Cill Moibhí continues to flourish. A very successful concert was held for the re-naming of the branch to Craobh Seosamh Mhic Gabhainn.
