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.
It was another busy and memorable Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy for ITMA in Miltown Malbay this year.
Across the week, our team documented recitals, lectures, concerts and presentations, while also contributing to the RTÉ and ITMA exhibition at Oidhreacht an Chláir, the ITMA AGM and a special presentation on the continued development of our work in Clare.
We also continued our Queally’s series, sharing more stories and music connected to this important place.
Visitors could call into ITMA’s new Clare presence at our office in Miltown Malbay, pick up copies of our new brochures, view memorabilia and learn more about ITMA’s current work.
All of this took place while 73 Merrion Square remained open to the public in Dublin — a real team effort across both locations.
Míle buíochas to Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy, Oidhreacht an Chláir, RTÉ, Queally’s and everyone who worked with us, visited, performed or took part during the week.
We are also grateful to the Arts Council and the Michael Guinee Charitable Foundation for their continued support.
A special thanks to the people of Miltown Malbay, who always give such a warm welcome to the wider ITMA team when they visit.
