Comhaltas in Britain or Comhaltas Breataine is a branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann (Irish pronunciation: [ˈkoːl̪ˠt̪ˠəsˠ ˈcoːl̪ˠt̪ˠoːɾʲiː ˈeːɾʲən̪ˠ]; based in Britain. It's a charitable[1] organisation that promotes the preservation, learning and performance of Irish traditional music dance and culture activities, primarily through the Irish diaspora community in Britain.
History edit
Comhaltas in Britain was founded in 1957 with the first branch outside of Ireland being established in Glasgow, where a community of Irish immigrants had settled.[2][3]The organisation became a registered charity in 2019 in England and Wales[4] and in 2024 in Scotland.[5]
Activities edit
Comhaltas in Britain oversees the All-Britain Fleadh competitions, which is the stage before the Fleadh Cheoil in Ireland. The Fleadh is hosted each year by a different region in Britain: Scotland, Northern, Midlands, London & South. The winners from the All-Britain Fleadh will then go to the All-Ireland Fleadh to compete with other branches from around the world.
