About Us
Tradsoc is a community in which traditional musicians and singers can express themselves in an open and welcoming environment. Musicians and singers of all abilities and backgrounds are more than welcome to take part in our sessions.
Our weekly sessions in the Crane Bar (Sea Road, Galway) are always open to newcomers (as well as our seasoned TradSoc members) and are a great way to meet new people with strong similar interests.
Galway's great heritage of traditional Irish music means that Trad Soc's events are always a blast for those who want to play or just enjoy the music and atmosphere.
Over the year we will be hosting a number of events including our annual trip, singing sessions, weekly pub session, music practice, concerts and social outings to traditional Irish festivals in Galway and further afield.
As a society we are dedicated to the love of traditional Irish music and song, for musicians, singers and listeners alike.
We are about bringing people together with a common interest, making friends and having the craic!
Keep informed with all our events by reading our weekly email and by liking our page on Facebook.
And remember, you don't have to play to come!!
