A FANTASTIC year of celebration and new activity has followed St Roch’s Marching Band (above) since they were crowned All Ireland Champions at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉiréann in Wexford, but they will hit new heights next month after being invited to perform in front of a capacity crowd at Croke Park.

THE Irish community in Scotland was shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden passing of much-loved Comhaltas musician, Fabian Greenan...

THE recent Scottish Fleadh hosted across the weekend of April 26 and 27 proved to be the biggest ever in what was a weekend celebration of Irish culture.

MANY people have been known to play traditional Irish music at some level

IT SEEMS like the festive tunes started this year earlier than ever as Christmas and New Year get ever closer

2024 could quite easily be termed the Year of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann in Scotland

LATE last month, the Consulate General of Ireland hosted the Irish Culture and Heritage Day in Edinburgh

THE great and the good in Ireland and Scotland were lining up to congratulate St Roch’s Marching Band after their stunning triumph

HAVE you ever taken a look at the things that lurk inside your loft space at home?

WITH the dust settling on the All-Ireland Fleadh in the traditional music world and competition season coming to a rest
