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.

I have a soft spot for the Dublin suburb of Ballinteer because that is where we first owned our own house, in the Wyckham Park estate near Dundrum. That was in the early sixties when it was the last estate on the edge of the countryside. You could walk out into the nearby fields and pick blackberries.
