About us
The Irish Minstrels is the oldest and largest branch of Comhaltas in Britain. We have a membership of over 300 representing the vibrant Irish community in the Greater Glasgow area. Our main branch activities include:
Our weekly classes in St Roch's Secondary School where our team of 25 tutors led by Musical Director Frank McArdle pass on their knowledge to the next generation;
Participation in Fleadh Cheoil (music festival) competitions at regional, provincial and world level;
Regular fundraising concerts & ceilithe (plural of ceili), giving our members the opportunity to perform whilst raising much needed branch funds to subsidise other events.
