Deirdre McGrory, ITMA/University of Limerick Intern
My name is Deirdre McGrory and I am twenty years old. I am from Culdaff, Inishowen in the North of Donegal. Luckily enough I have been brought up in a musical family and lived across the road from a legendary music venue, which at the time was in ownership of my father, aunt and uncle. This exposure to music over time played a huge part in my choices for the future and choice of University.
I knew as soon as we were told about a placement that I had to try to spend some of it at ITMA.
Being trusted with these important projects made me feel like I had a place here and that I had contributed even in a small way, to the huge service ITMA has done in preserving our incredible tradition.
