About Us
Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is the largest worldwide organisation devoted to the promotion and preservation of Irish Traditional Music, Song, Dance & Language. In Britain there are 25 branches spread throughout the country each with its own story and dynamic interpretation of Irish Culture.
Comhaltas are governed by a board of elected members called the Ard Comhairle and as members of the organisation we are bound by the rules and guidelines set out in our
