Welcome to the New Philadelphia Ceili Group site!

Slainte!  Welcome to the new Philadelphia Ceili Group weblog! We have changed the format of our site in order to improve our ability to provide you with the most current information about Traditional Irish Music & Dance throughout the greater Philadelphia area with a special emphasis on the many wonderful music and dance presentations sponsored by the Philadelphia Ceili Group.

Check out the 2007 Festival page for lots of information about our big Annual Festival of Traditional Irish Music & Dance in September.  This year will be our 33rd FEST!  Many details are now available and tickets will soon be available to purchase on-line. This year we are very excited about a very special event which will be only one part of this year's Festival of Traditional Irish Music & Dance, brought to you by (who else?) the Philadelphia Ceili Group!

The PCG, as many of you know, has for years presented an ongoing series of concerts and instrumental workshops by the cream of the crop of Irish music - at the Irish Center, in a tree-lined West Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia.  We host Irish music concerts, a weekly music session at the same location, ceili dances and dance instruction, a new learners' session, and much more. Be sure to check out information about the great benefits to becoming a Philadelphia Ceili Group member.

We hope to see you soon!
