Bunbury & the South West · Western Australia
Céad Míle Fáilte.
A hundred thousand welcomes — your home of the Irish community in the South West of Western Australia.
Social. Casual. Connection.
The Southwest Irish Community Group is a non-profit network connecting people with Irish heritage, Irish relatives, or simply an interest in Irish culture across the South West of Western Australia.
We promote Irish cultural activities, support newly arrived Irish migrants, foster social connections, and advance the standing of the Irish community in our region — from Bunbury and beyond.
Everyone is welcome. You don't need to be Irish to join us — a fondness for the craic is more than enough.
Monthly Irish Music Sessions
Our traditional Irish music sessions are the heartbeat of the group — an open, informal gathering of musicians and listeners in the best Irish pub tradition. Bring an instrument, a song, or just yourself.
When & where
Sessions run monthly at venues around Bunbury. Dates and venues are announced on our Facebook page and in our WhatsApp community — see Connect with us for the next session.
All ages, all abilities, no cost to come along and listen.
