Ceol Cois Locha was a joint production between the Gaoth Dobhair based independent television company Scannain Dobharchu and Tionscnamh Lugh.
The first programme featured the wonderful Galway based musician Mairtín O Connor & Chatterbox . The other musicians in the group are the multi-instrumentalists Martin Murray from Waterford and Gary O Briaín from Clare, jazzy Dubliner and guitar player extraordinaire Jimmy Faulker and ace bass player James Blennerhasset from Sligo.
