if you’re in Cambridgeshire, try the local Cambridge branch of the Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann (Association of Irish Music) that was created in Ireland to spread the folk tradition of Irish music and its playing style. It is held on Wednesdays in the Rathmore Pub on Cherry Hinton Road. Colm teaches harp the traditional Irish folk way (by ear – though he will give you notation if you ask). It is a busy night with lessons in whistle, concertina, fiddle, uilleann pipes, etc etc, and occasionally ends in a session. It is a drop-in style evening, and you pay as you go. They also take groups to Ireland and many of the members compete in the fleadh.
