A generalised triangle group has a presentation of the form

where R is a cyclically reduced word involving both x and y. When R = xy, these classical triangle groups have representations as discrete groups of isometrics of S2, R2, H2 depending on

In this paper, for other words R, faithful discrete representations of these groups in Isom +H3 = PSL(2, C) are considered with particular emphasis on the case R = [x, y] and also on the relationship between the Euler characteristic χ and finite covolume representations.
