Notes:
This tape is a dubbing made by the archives department at RTE for the index of dance music made by Breandan Breathnach after his retirement (i.e. the Post-Retirement Index = PRI). This tape is referred to as RE 8 in BB's list of RTE recordings processed for PRI. That list is available in BB's reference notebook for PRI.
Digitised from the original tape and catalogued by Jackie Small, June 2005.
The first part of this tape contains a dubbing of recordings of Willie Clancy made by Breandan O Ciobhain for Radio Eireann. This set of recordings has been digitised already at 2034-ITMA-REEL and is not digitised here.
