The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
People have always loved dancing in the moonlight when the weather has cooled off during a summer’s night. Meeting and mating at a crossroads dance has inspired poets and given opportunities for merrymaking when Ireland’s rural communities came together to hear a traveling fiddler or melodeon player.
