Karan Casey & Niall Vallely
A concert of music and song from Karan Casey and Niall Vallely to mark the launch of public access to the ITMA ephemera collection.
For the past two years ITMA staff have worked with a team of volunteers to sort through boxes and boxes of ephemeral material – that is posters, programmes, flyers, tickets etc. The collection is a unique record of traditional music happenings over the past 30+ years and it is now available for researchers. For more information on the process please read the blogs that we wrote along the way.

Both Karan Casey and Niall Vallely feature within the collection through their solo careers and the various band formations of which they have been a part. They will have had an opportunity to see their own material from the collection before the launch and we have asked them to talk about their representation in the collection as part of the performance.
This is a free concert but tickets must be reserved on Eventbrite
