Preserving
​Irish Culture
in the
​Mohawk Valley

Picture

We're the Mohawk Valley branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, and we're working to preserve Irish culture in the Utica/Rome area of upstate New York through performances, sessions, classes and other events. 

We offer year-round opportunities to experience Irish music, dance, history, storytelling, poetry, literature, and the Irish language. Everyone is welcome! 

You may want to check out our Facebook Page and YouTube Channel too.

If you love to kick up your heels to a jig, sing a lilting song, or rosin up your bow for a frolic on the fiddle, you'll love being a member of Craobh Dugan-O'Looney.​ Everyone who plays a musical instrument usually associated with Irish music is encouraged to play with us. Click the button above to find out all the details.

​Each month we have two open sessions - one in Utica, NY, and another in Rome, NY. We also have two learning sessions, one in Durhamville, NY, and another in Utica. Check our calendar page for details on those.

​Even if you don't play an instrument yourself, you'll have plenty of opportunities to sit back and enjoy traditional Irish music as authentic as anything you could hear in Ireland. Check out our calendar to see where we're playing. You'll find us at pubs, libraries, festivals, and nursing homes throughout the Mohawk Valley from Utica to Rome and beyond.

​Do you think we'd be a perfect fit for your meeting, event, pub, nursing home, or village concert series? Contact us to find out when we're available to perform for you and your clan.
