AN ATTENTIVE audience of family, friends and invited guests—including Theresa C Gallagher, chair of Comhaltas in Britain and Rosemarie Cassidy, chair of the Scottish Region of Comhaltas—enjoyed the St James the Great Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann Branch’s annual summer concert in Pollokshaws Burgh Hall, Glasgow recently.

ST JAMES the Great Branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann recently visited Ireland to forge close links with two branches of the Irish cultural organisation, and it was music, music, music all the way.

WITH St Patrick’s Day approaching as I write this, I pondered the question: What does it mean to be Irish? And how do we define ourselves in modern society?

THE All-Britain Fleadh took place during the last weekend of June and for those attending from Scotland they weren’t just bathed in sunshine, they were bathed with medals too.
