Join the Irish Australian Support Association of Queensland for the Brisbane Irish Festival Charity Ball 2021 in aid of IASAQ.

The night will consist of a two course meal and a three hour drinks package with traditional Irish music by Sásta.

This is always a fantastic night on the Irish event calendar with all proceeds going to help fund the Association, so we can continue to assist the Irish and Irish Australian community. Please consider coming along to support a good cause whilst celebrating our unique culture.

The presentation attempts a gender-oriented analysis of the Queensland Irish Association (QIA). This organisation, formed in Brisbane in 1898 by members of a disbanded ethnic military corps, the Queensland Irish Volunteers, was constituted as a male-only body with female relatives confined to ancillary, though not unimportant, roles. We explore male members’ attitudes towards gender and the masculine culture encoded in the Association’s symbols, processions, songs, oratory, and recreational activities.

Booking is essential. Due to COVID-19 and social distancing requirements, we are unable to offer the usual tea and sandwiches; you are welcome to bring your own drink with you. Thank you for understanding.
