In addition to organizing the annual St. Patrick’s Parade, The United Irish Societies of Montreal has a volunteer group that goes out to entertain shut-ins and seniors throughout the year.

We have been putting shows together for over forty years now. Our group goes out over a seven month period from October to the end of April and can do as many as 20 events per year.

We entertain at hospitals, senior residences and also at the Saint Anne’s Veterans Hospital.

We are presently looking to add new members to the group and are looking for people from all areas - singers, instrument players (guitar, keyboard, etc.) and comedians to name a few.

We do a wide variety of music from Irish to old time to country but are open to all varieties of music.

Looking to help entertain shut-ins and senior citizens? Here is a golden opportunity.

To become part of this great volunteer group or for further information please contact
