Ireland's ties with the Celtic people of Europe and its isolation from that continent, forged a folk tradition like no other. This music reflects the full range of moods and expression of the Irish people past and present. Comhaltas works hard to preserve and pass on this great gift to one another and future generations. The Tom Finucane branch of CCE holds two traditional jam sessions each month. Musicians and singers share their tunes and songs in an informal atmosphere.
Many listeners also attend the sessions for the music and conversations.
Bring your instrument and tape recorder. A music stand in optional. We occasionally sponsor small and large-scale concerts of traditional Irish music and dance.
