Are you in Ireland, or visiting Ireland? I got this from Enda Seery. I featured him before because  his style of playing the whistle is fascinating. There is an amazing show he is producing. I am a snoop so I have to know more. The resident group at the centre is called ‘Ceoltóirí an Mhuilinn’. I asked him for a bit of info:

Seisiún provides a unique entertainment experience for holidaymakers and local communities alike at various CCÉ Seisiún nights all over Ireland. Seisiún Áras an Mhuilinn is staged in the ‘Teach Ceoil’ in Áras an Mhuilinn, the Comhaltas Regional Centre in Mullingar. The setting in Áras an Mhuilinn is ideally suited to a Comhaltas Seisiún Show, an intimate setting of formal and informal traditional Irish entertainment of the highest quality. Light refreshment is offered as part of the very reasonable entrance charge while bar facilities are also available. Seisiún concludes with an informal traditional session where visitors are encouraged to participate as they so wish. Seisiún Áras an Mhuilinn is staged in the historical town of Mullingar, the town in which Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann was founded in 1951. Seisiún audiences return year after year- Bígí linn ag Seisiún Áras an Mhuilinn!
