Welcome to The Emerald Isle Club Website.

Over the past 50 years the Club has become well-known in the Maryland Irish Community for its members' dedication and support of traditional Irish music and dance, Irish charities, Irish ancestry and language, and for its strong monthly ceili program.

We extend an invitation to all people who are strongly committed to these same ideals to join our organization and work to strengthen the awareness of Irish heritage in the Baltimore and Maryland communities. Read More.

Please join us at our Monthly Ceili.

Fiddler Tony DeMarco will teach a one-day Irish Traditional Music Workshop, open to musicians of all skill levels on all instruments. The workshop will feature session tunes that are associated with New York and its many great musicians, past and present. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of New York's finest musicians! Tony will first teach the basic melody of each tune.  He will then demonstrate the phrasing and ornamentation that makes Irish music so compelling.  This will be especially beneficial to fiddlers, but will also prove valuable to players on other instruments.  Participants will also be shown exciting ways to improvise and develop a personal style while remaining true to the tune's melody.
