   About TTU Celtic Ensemble
Founded in 2006, Texas Tech's Celtic Ensemble consists of 18-22 musicians specializing in group performance of the traditional music and song of the seven Celtic nations: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, Galicia, and the Isle of Man. Repertoire is typically learned, taught, and played by ear and participants are expected to develop appropriate performance practice. Members are encouraged to employ traditional instruments and appropriate languages insofar as possible. The ensemble also learns, performs, (and occasionally teaches) associated dances.

We do not presently have a studio CD available, however recordings of campus concerts can usually be purchased from the TTU School of Music within a reasonable period of time from the performance date.

You may also hear selected recordings here, or by visiting us on Facebook, YouTube, or our official website:

Hello mates,
Yer sounding great! Hope all is well in your world and you had a wonderful holiday season. We really enjoyed playing in Ireland recently. Check out the new clip on our site from our Ireland 2007 tour - The Indulgers performing "Trouble With A Capitol T" with Johnny Fean vocalist/guitarist from the legendary Irish band Horslips - one of the original celtic rock bands - in Ennis, Co. Clare. Have a fantastic new year! Your friends, The Indulgers
