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.
Once again this year ITMA will host free lunchtime events as part of National Heritage Week 2026. This year’s events include a lecture and recital from concertina player Micheál Ó Raghallaigh celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first recordings of Irish traditional music on the concertina by William J. Mullally, along with an exclusive free screening in the Lighthouse Cinema of ITMA and TG4’s acclaimed 2025 documentary Cartlann Christy Moore followed by a Q&A. Both events are free, but there are limited spaces available so be sure to book your spot in advance.
