    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.

    Caitríona Ní Cheannabháin

    Is amhránaí ar an sean-nós as an Aird Thoir, Carna, í Caitríona Ní Cheannabháin. Ba é Michael Mháire Ghabha Ó Ceannabháin a hathair. Fonnadóir mór ar an sean-nós agus ceoltóir a bhí ann féin agus ina mháthair Máire an Ghabha roimhe. Tá an traidisiún ag gabháil ó ghlúin go glúin. Is í Caitríona an Cathaoirleach ar Éigse Chomórtha Mhichael Mháire Ghabha . Nuair a bhí sí an-óg, ghlacadh Caitríona páirt go rialta i gcomórtais agus i bhféilte. Ghnóthaigh sí duaiseanna ag an Oireachtas agus ag féilte eile. Bíonn sí ag casadh amhrán ag féilte thar lear agus ag déanamh moltóireachta ar chomórtais, ag leithéid Oireachtas na Gaeilge. Ghlac sí páirt sa scannán Song of Granite faoi Sheosamh Ó hÉanaí. Bíonn sí go minic ar Raidió na Gaeltachta agus ar TG4. Tá spéis aici sa gceol tíre. Tá dhá dhlúthdhiosca déanta aici. Bhí sí ag múineadh an tsean-nóis sna bunscoileanna in Iorras Aithneach. Is breá léi an traidisiún, an cultúr agus an nádúr agus tugann siad ardú croí di.
