Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann was founded in Dublin, Ireland, in 1951. Its mandate is to promote traditional Irish music and culture, and there are more than 400 branches around the world.
Comhaltas (pronounced COAL tas) is the popular term for the organization, which operates on a non-profit basis.
The Saint John branch of Comhaltas is the eastern-most chapter in Canada. We hold sessions at 7:00 pm on Tuesday nights at O'Leary's Pub on Princess Street, in Saint John NB, from September to June.
Our focus is on traditional music and instruments; come and join in or just relax and enjoy the music. We're always looking for new members who share a love of traditional Irish music and culture.
