Support the Cruinniú!

Contracting top instructors and producing excellent content costs money.  Our goal is for GCC to become self-funding, and to continue its focus on education and encouragement of Irish Traditional Music, while not focusing on making a profit.
Since the inception of GCC many of its board members have been and continue to be its financial backing. We are seeking additional support from private donors and businesses, could that be you?.  We welcome the opportunity to discuss with you.
