6. MEMO FROM THE KNOCKABOUTS

HI George,

Well, the snow may not be falling in Flagstaff yet, but the Knockabouts, Flagstaff's Favorite Irish Band, are still planning a snow party. We will be at Uptown Billiards on Sat, Dec. 8th starting at 9PM. Some people may not be aware that Uptown Biiliards was voted best place in Arizona to have a beer! The best place to drink a beer in AZ and the Knockabouts? Sounds like the perfect combination to me. The sales of our latest CD "I'll Have A Pint With You" are going great and we are very appreciative of the comments we have received from it. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope to see lots of you on Dec. 8th.

Take Care,
John

Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann or simply Comhaltas (KOL-TUSS) means "Fellowship of the Musicians of Ireland. It is an international non-profit organization dedicated to preserving & promoting Irish Music, Dance & Language.

We have been invited to begin our own local chapter in Phoenix. Having our own local chapter of Comhaltas means we will be regularly visited by some the greats in Irish Trad music. It means, we will be open to all the news, concerts, private invitations and such from all around the world. This is an awesome opportunity for all you musicians and dancers and Irish speakers to create a huge and strong network of the Irish arts locally, pulling in our neighbours in Flagstaff, Tuscon and other towns.

If you are interested in joining our chapter of Comhaltas, please email me your information and I will start a membership database. I will need your:

First Name
Middle Initial
Last Name
Complete Mailing Address
Telephone Number
Email Address

Please forward this email on to any interested friends.

More information will be emailed to interested parties only. This will include the date of the first meeting, membership details and available board positions (of which there are 12). We should expect to vote in board members at the first meeting. (I'm not flying this thing!!)

We hope to get this off the ground by Saint Patrick's Day. Thanks for your time.

Slan,
Marni Allen
gaelic_gale@msn.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[EDITOR’S NOTE: I followed up with Marni and it looks like things are really moving along. Comhaltas is a great organization that has played a tremendous role in first preserving and then spreading traditional Irish music. The following is from their website
comhaltas.ie]

INTRODUCTION

You would hardly think that Irish traditional music was ever in trouble. Walk into an Irish pub anywhere in the world today and you might well be treated to an informal “session”— musicians playing for their own pleasure and that of their listeners. It might start with a fiddle player pulling an instrument from a battered case. Maybe a button accordion emerges from under a chair. A flute is pulled from a bag, and the music continues with the haunting sounds that were once the preserve of the rural country kitchen. But it was not always that way.

EARLY YEARS

There was a time when the mere survival of Irish traditional music was not at all a sure thing.

In January 1951, representatives of the Thomas Street (Dublin) Pipers’ Club went to Mullingar for a meeting with traditional music enthusiasts from County Westmeath. Two ideas which had already been mentioned amongst traditional musicians were discussed at this meeting; the first was the founding of an organisation to promote Irish traditional music while the second was the organising of a great annual festival of Irish traditional music, song and dance. A further meeting was held in February, and at this meeting it was decided that, in conjunction with Feis Lár na hÉireann (a Gaelic League Feis which had been held in Mullingar for many years), a Fleadh Cheoil would be organised in the town in May over the Whit weekend.

In the years before the Fleadh, although the ordinary people of Ireland loved traditional music, the hundreds of traditional musicians in the country were largely unappreciated in popular social and intellectual circles. The aim of the Fleadh was to promote traditional music and to arrest the decline in its popularity. The cream of traditional Irish musicians attending the Fleadh played a major role in furthering this aim.

Fleadhanna Cheoil gave traditional musicians a platform where they could play to an appreciative audience and where traditional style was the criterion. That first Fleadh Cheoil in 1951 attracted only a few hundred patrons - a small but enthusiastic crowd. Within five years, however, this annual gathering had grown to become a great National Festival attended by traditional musicians, singers, and dancers from all parts of Ireland and overseas.

On October 14th, 1951, at Árus Ceannt, Thomas Street, Dublin, the first standing Committee of Cumann Ceoltóirí na hÉireann was elected. At a meeting in St. Mary’s Hall, Mullingar, on January 6th, 1952, the title of the organisation was changed from Cumann Ceoltóirí na hÉireann to Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.

COMHALTAS TODAY

Comhaltas has grown with the times, and today we’re proud to be the foremost movement preserving and promoting Irish traditional music. We love what we do.

Branches of Comhaltas have formed in every county in Ireland and also abroad, organising classes, concerts, and sessions in local communities. Now there are County and Provincial Fleadhanna, and also the Fleadh Nua, the Tionól Leo Rowsome, Seisiún, and the Scoil Éigse, and active branches in the United States, Britain, Canada, Japan and elsewhere. In fact, there are hundreds of branches in 15 countries on 4 continents.

As the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, said, “Take Comhaltas out of the equation, turn back the clock and contemplate Ireland without Comhaltas and the sheer scale of what we owe you is revealed.”

WHAT NEXT?

We’re not resting on our laurels. In 2001 Comhaltas announced an ambitious plan to partner even more closely with local communities through our “Meitheal” initiative. Now in 2006, we’re happy to report that we’re ahead of schedule, developing over 50 active projects through our network of regional Meitheal committees.

Guided by our Development Programme we’re also busy opening Regional Centres and Outreach Centres, taking on exciting new projects in Education, expanding our Archive and producing the popular ComhaltasLive weekly video programme.

All of this exciting work, though, rests squarely on the shoulders of our local volunteers. If you think you might want to be involved, find your local branch and see what we’re all about!
