Fleadh Cheoil na Mumhan

Fleadh na Mumhan is the largest provincial Fleadh in Ireland run under the auspices of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.

Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is the largest group involved in the preservation and promotion of Irish traditional music, song and dance and all aspects of Irish culture, affording the language special status. We’re a non-profit cultural movement with hundreds of local branches around the world, we’ve been promoting Irish music since 1951.

 

We are an international movement with our headquarters in Dublin, Cultúrlann na hÉireann. We also have a number of Regional Resource Centres based at Cois na hAbhna in Ennis and Brú Boru in Cashel where you would be more than welcome to stop by for a visit, or to visit a local Comhaltas branch close to where you live. A definitive list can be found at http://comhaltas.ie/locations/
