Conal's debut recording The Top of Coom in 1990 is still regarded as a seminal recording of flute-playing.[1] Conal has played, toured and recorded with many of the music's leading exponents and his second recording Cnoc Buí was released in 2008 to widespread critical acclaim.

As well as playing regularly with fiddler Maeve Donnelly, Conal is also a member of the group Raw Bar Collective, along with Offaly fiddler Dave Sheridan and Benny McCarthy of Danú fame.
