Folk Artists For Palestine Naarm

We're a collective of Irish traditional and Australian, American, Scottish and other folk musicians raising funds, awareness and action for Palestine in Naarm.

We recognise the shared struggle between Palestinians and First Peoples. Irish Artists for Palestine Naarm is a collective of traditional and folk musicians from Ireland, Australia and Scotland raising awareness, funds and promoting action for an end to the brutal persecution of the Palestinian people. Irish people have long voiced our solidarity with the Palestinian people. We have a shared history of struggle for self-determination in the face of colonial oppression, but the horrific violence unfolding in Palestine right now is unprecedented. With our friends from the Australian and Scottish folk music communities, we wish to play our small part in supporting organisations advocating for an end to this genocide, or providing humanitarian aid to those suffering through it.

Hey friends, our pals over at are putting on a couple of all-level Irish traditional singing workshops in .spark_ in June. If you like learning deadly songs, wanna nerd out on Irish singing technique and like chatting about the politics around songs and their connection to colonisation, get in there. Link in the Naarm Traditional Singers bio and comments.

We’ve been quiet on socials but super busy doing lots of beautiful and inspiring solidarity, education, resistance and fundraising events the last few months. Here’s some of the crew (, Claire Alleway, Kit Joyce and Crust Brady) at the people’s graduation on Sunday. The event was a really gorgeous space and affirms how every event, space and platform can be proof of a world where human life matters, where We refuse to be quietly complicit in colonial capitalism. We’re so grateful to those bold brave students for allowing us to share that space with them.

We encourage everyone to get to uni Melb this afternoon for a snap rally. Universities are clamping down on students protesting genocide. Heinous, authoritarian behaviour. Defend the students- they are showing the leadership we all need.

Hello hello. It’s been a week since we ran our fundraiser in and what an absolutely massive, amazing night it was. We remained grounded in our purpose - to raise awareness and encourage people to action for Indigenous and Palestinian rights and we were so grateful to have had Rocky from .title.rockets and Sarah from there to speak for us. The music from all the gorgeous Folk Artists for Palestine - , .c.k Ken Maher, Corey Romeo and Jason Chaplain was incredible. We had lots of folks tipping away behind the scenes like and the lovely wee beasts. We got a bunch of other folk musicians signed up to a shout out list for future actions and gigs, a bunch of people signed up to learn more about Aunty Sue’s anti-missile testing campaign. We raised heaps of money for both causes. The Lomond were ridiculously generous, kind, helpful and such a wonderful partner in this. Drop us a DM if you want to be involved, and thanks a squillion to every human that came along, listened, bought art at the auction, helped the Irish trad musos boo the Old Timey musos etc. We love you all. xx

Folk and traditional musicians have often played music for the community in Ceres, always feeling aligned with the care for earth and community promote there. Folk Artists for Palestine Naarm are heartbroken to learn of their stance on the Palestinian genocide, so deeply at odds with the human rights values of so many of us who frequent and play there. have told their staff not to express solidarity with people being genocided while in work, and indeed told them, in an instruction that is bizarre and likely illegal, not to wear anything referencing ‘the middle east’. At a time when so many of our local businesses and community organisations are showing compassionate leadership and bravery, Ceres is silencing staff speaking against the genocide, and promoting dangerous ‘both sides’ narratives. The comfort of people who support Israel has been prioritised over the safety of Palestinians and others in the community impacted by genocide. You can do better Ceres. We’ll encourage our colleagues to reach out to let you know their feelings on this, and remind them of your position, wherever it lands, next time an invitation to play there circulates in the community.
