    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.

    €10

    Help ensure that the well of Irish music, song and dance is preserved for present and future generations.

    €20

    Donations of any level help ITMA digitise, preserve and offer free universal access to valuable materials that would otherwise be lost.

    €100

    The support of donors ensures ITMA can deliver an increasingly better service. Without private support, the transformative year we experienced in 2023 would not have been possible.

    €200

    Make your donation go further: a donation of €250 or more in any tax year is worth an additional 44.93% to ITMA. So for €50 more, ITMA can claim an additional €112.33 tax back from revenue.

    €250

    Irish-based donors can see their donations augmented by the State through the CHY3 form, which makes any donation above €250 worth €362.33 towards ITMA’s archival work, at no additional cost to you.

    €500

    ITMA is eligible for 501(c)3 donations, so for potential donors based in the USA, donating to ITMA can be a tax efficient way of making more and more archival material accessible to remote users.

    Hardiman the fiddler, port

    Bailithe ag Séamus Mac Aonghusa ó Dharach Ó Clochartaigh (Dudley an Phortaigh/Dudley Cloherty)

    Hardiman the fiddler, port / Johnny Óg Connolly, mileoidean

    Mí Iúil 1943 thug Séamus Ennis cuairt go rialta go Maínis chuig Dudley an Phortaigh [Darach Ó Clochartaigh] ar scríobh Ennis faoi go raibh ceolta aige. Dúirt sé go raibh ceolta aige a thóig sé ó phortaireacht bhéil a athar agus ó cheoltóirí taistil fadó. D’athscríobh Ennis cuid mhór ceoil ó Dudley ar a bhfuil an port luascach seo. Malairt leagan é de ‘Hardiman the Fiddler’, agus tá sé foilsithe in Dance Music of Ireland (Uimh. 412) ag O’Neill agus in The Dance Music of Willie Clancy (Uimh. 127). Foilsíodh leagan den phort luascach seo in Ceol Rince na hÉireann 4 ( Uimh. 39) agus an teideal ‘The Swaggering Jig’ air cé go ndeirtear sna nótaí gur ceol eile é seachas an port luascach den ainm céanna atá in Dance Music of Ireland (Uimh. 413) ag O’Neill.
