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.
In 2006, after my composition “Cuisle Ceoil an Bhlascaoid” was chosen to commemorate the Blasket Islands, I got a great boost of creative energy and composed a number of pieces that reminded me of my annual trip down to spend the summer at my mother’s family home near Ballyferriter, Co Kerry.
The other tunes are “The road to Ventry”, “The Hairpin Bends” (between Tralee and Dingle) and Gleann na nGealt (also between Tralee and Dingle).
