Digital rips of old tape rips of two cassettes of material from the RTE archives recorded by Ciaran Mac Mathuna, one of music from Clare and Kerry, the other of Galway and Limerick. No trace of these remains apart from a note in an old Claddagh catalogue. I didn't bother making a copy of the Limerick side, but the other three give good a snapshot of Irish Traditional music in pre-revival times, in particular its social rather than entertainment aspect.
Here is Clare.
