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.
The title of this is a reminder to me of poorer times in Ireland during the 1950s. Going to national school in those days was not a time of special uniforms or any sort of clothing grandeur. We all had to rely on whatever needlework our mothers could do to hide our backsides from the outside world.
