Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann


Iireland 18.06.2026
The Irish postal service, An Post, has unveiled a new commemorative stamp marking the 75th anniversary of *Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann*. This organization promotes traditional Irish culture—particularly music and dance—both in Ireland and around the world. The stamp was created by DesignWorks Ireland; Louise Nichols and Aoife Carroll were responsible for the design and illustration, according to Martin Gafney, who represented DesignWorks Ireland alongside Rocky Grennell. The design features a stylized fiddle reimagined as a mosaic of colors and textures, with each section symbolizing the diverse communities, traditions, and experiences brought together by *Comhaltas*. The nominal value on the date of issue was €1.85.
