We meet every 6 weeks or so for a session/practice, usually in the bar of the Ferndale Hotel. Other instruments are welcome but remember we play Irish traditional music. Get up to date information by contacting us to be put on the mailing list or keep an eye on this website. The Ferndale Hotel is on the right before the main shops in Ferndale as you approach on the main road from the south. Parking is on the streets in the area, be aware that the side roads are very steep and many are one way. See also the map on the Find Us page.


Pipers Mick O'Brien and Alan Burton and fiddler Emma Sweeney lead workshops at the 2011 South Wales Tionól. From start to finish it was a weekend to remember with first rate hospitality, top class sessions and brilliant musicianship at the Celtic Night concert. We are really grateful to everyone involved for making the event so special. More to come including pictures and video.
