The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
It was another busy year for ITMA at Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy 2023 in Miltown Malbay, Co. Clare.
Throughout the week, ITMA’s staff was busy conducting field recordings for the archive.
ITMA had one team stationed at the hall in the Miltown Malbay Community Centre, where they recorded recitals, lectures, and concerts taking place throughout the week. At the same time, another team was based out of Queally’s pub, recording interviews with a variety of artists in the traditional music, song, and dance community.
Over the course of the week, ITMA recorded five lectures, five recitals, nine concerts and interviewed 21 artists.
ITMA would like to thank everyone at Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy and Arts Council Ireland
