Inishowen Song Project

Submitted on 4th April 2013

The Irish Traditional Music Archive and Inishowen Traditional Singers' Circle

The Irish Traditional Music Archive and Inishowen Traditional Singers' Circle have launched the Inishowen Song Project.

This is a unique 2,000-item online microsite presenting the traditional singers and songs of the Inishowen peninsula, Co Donegal, and incorporating digital sound and video recordings, books, photographs, transcriptions of song texts, and metadata catalogue information for each item.

It is a collaborative project between the Irish Traditional Music Archive and the Inishowen Traditional Singers’ Circle and was funded by Inishowen Development Partnership to provide free and open access to field recordings made in the peninsula during the 1980s – 1990s. 


DRI is funded by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (DFHERIS) via the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and the Irish Research Council (IRC).
