Turlough O’Carolan (born 1670, near Nobber, County Meath, Ireland—died March 25, 1738, Alderford, County Roscommon) was one of the last Irish harpist-composers and the only one whose songs survive in both words and music in significant number (about 220 are extant).

The O’Carolan Harp and Traditional Music Festival is held in Keadue, County Roscommon every August Bank Holiday.

The Festival was started in Keadue in 1978, to commemorate the famous Harper Turlough O’Carolan who lived in the area and is buried beside  Keadue which is a small village of 200 people located on the shores of Lough Meelagh at the foot of the Arigna Mountains. The Festival includes Concerts, Ceili, Tuition on the Harp, Set Dancing, Harp Recitals and a Harp Competition.

Mossie Martin fiddle and Fiachra Guihen are local musicians who have grown up with Turlough O;Carolan's music ,they hosted a fantastic concert of playing his  music and recounting stories from his life.
