The Association of Gaelic Choirs

"The Association aim to promote, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the art and science of music and in particular Gaelic Choral Music. It was formed purely as a representative body seeking to further the interests of all Gaelic Choirs. It is a governing body and does not interfere in any way whatsoever with the management or work of any individual choir. Our role is to negotiate on behalf of Gaelic Choirs and to strengthen the common bonds between us."

President’s Welcome

Fàilte dhuibh uile gu larach linn Comunn nan Còisirean Gàidhlig.

Welcome to the website of Comunn na Còisirean Gàidhlig – the Gaelic Choirs’ Asscoiation.

The association exists to support Gaelic choirs, foster their existence and, where possible, to encourage new choirs to be founded.

If you are in any way interested in joining a Gaelic choir you can locate your nearest choir on this site, or, alternatively, contact us for information. Singing in a Gaelic choir is great fun and Gaelic choirs are very friendly organisations.

The Association has close links with An Comunn Gàidhealach in relation to Mòd events for choirs and represents the views of choirs to An Comunn.

We are delighted to provide practical help to new and existing choirs, including assisting anyone who has an interest in conducting – especially since a scarcity of conductors is the major problem which choirs encounter.

Please do not hesitate to contact me on email or by phoning me on 0141 334 7773.

Leis gach deagh dhùrachd.
Kenneth Thomson, President

They are performing their eclectic mix of sacred, traditional and modern music across a number of venues and we would like to invite all local choir members to attend their performances:
