The Gaelic Music Melbourne community wishes to acknowledge the original owners of the land on which we operate, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. We would like to pay our respects to Elders past and present. Music and language are integral to a culture and have been systematically oppressed for generations since colonisation. Our mission is to acknowledge and celebrate the languages and music that came before us.

Music and Language.
Music is such an integral part of any culture; we learn our stories, lessons and history through it. We share the raw human experience through it and through our language.
Our Mission.
This Blog is run by a university student with a particular interest in this area, a local with heritage who wishes to remember and practice language and music. Read more below to see how we intend to preserve the Gaelic language and our mission.
“Is buaine port ná glór na n-éan,
Is buaine focal ná toice an tsaoil.”
“A tune outlasts the song of the birds,
A word outlasts the wealth of the world.”
