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.

  • The half-empty hornpipe [comp. Sandie Purcell] [played slowly] / Sandie Purcell, fiddle

This was another tune written during Lockdown in 2020. The name leans towards the negative side of people’s isolation – with the glass feeling “half empty”.
