An a cappella vocal group performing in Sydney in Scottish Gaelic, both traditional and new music, we actively promote the Gaelic language and culture. To that end, we are running regular classes in Scottish Gaelic -- at the moment in Rydalmere, near Parramatta in western Sydney, but at the turn of the New Year to be available in a number of locations in Sydney.

Interested people -- either looking for Gaelic music or language, or the chance to sing or speak it -- can reach us through our website at http://www.ozcoisir.org
