Collection of field recordings from an unspecified edition of the Boys of Ballisodare Folk Festival in Sligo. Includes performances by Christy Moore, Liam O'Flynn and Paul Brady.
Collection comprises sound recordings, manuscript transcriptions of songs and interviews, images, and broadsheets, collected by Aidan O'Hara in areas of Irish settlement on the south shore of Newfoundland in the 1970s. This collection is unique to ITMA, some portions are duplicated in other archives and special collections in Ireland and North America.
This collection focuses primarily on music and song from the Irish Traveller community recorded around County Dublin between 1965 and 1971. Materials in this collection include reel-to-reel tapes, 1 commercial LP, and notes about recordings in two jotter notebooks and loose-leaf paper.
Collection consists of CD copies of a radio documentary on traditional singing entitled 'Herosongs: Where History and Song Meet'. The 8-part series was originally broadcast on RTÉ Radio One in July 2013. It is spread across four CDs, with additional material on the fifth CD.
