He has performed at festivals and events across Ireland and internationally, playing with respected musicians and groups. His precise technique and deep understanding of the tradition have made him a sought-after performer in the Irish music scene.

Beyond performing, Colm is passionate about passing on the tradition. He teaches both in person and online, working with students of all levels. He is a regular tutor at Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy and frequently attends uilleann piping gatherings worldwide, helping to promote and preserve the instrument.

In 2019, Na Píobairí Uilleann entrusted Colm with the pipes of the late Liam O’Flynn, a significant honor that recognizes his dedication to the craft. These historic pipes have a rich legacy, and Colm is committed to maintaining and playing them with the respect they deserve.
