mmmm isnt his wife something to do with The Bru Boru Cultural Center ??

We had a fledgling Comhaltas Branch is Jackfield, Telford. (of which I was secretary for 3 years). Very few of us were Irish, just loved the music. We voted to come out of the association because of the high insurance levies. Also because most of the subs went to Head office. I put in a question at Province of Britain congress in about 2003 about the high insurance costs, was fobbed off with some glib reply by ya man. Was allowed to raise it at Congress in Monkstown, to get the same reply.

We still have a wonderful Irish session at The Boat Inn in Jackfield.

British branches traditionally pay more insurance per annum than Irish ones. We dont have property or employees and just needed simple 3rd party liability.
