The Pennyburn Piper: the Tomás Ó Canainn Collection at ITMA
Tomás Ó Canainn's (1930-2013) contribution to the traditional arts in Ireland manifested itself in a remarkable array of outputs, as an uilleann piper, accordion player, singer, poet, writer, composer, researcher and lecturer. In November 2019, the Ó Canainn Family contacted ITMA with the generous news that Tomás' archival legacy was to become part of the national collection.
