Welcome to the website of the Cambridge branch of
Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.
(meaning “Society of the musicians of Ireland“)
Established in 1992 we hold weekly Irish music lessons in the heart of the University city of Cambridge. We are a friendly and inclusive family oriented group of musicians dedicated to promoting the heritage of Irish music, song and dance in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire and beyond. We strive to bring together a community of all ages together to learn, share and experience the music and culture of Ireland.
We meet every Wednesday night during term time at the Rathmore Club on Cherry Hinton Road.
