Irish Musical Images in 19th Century Newspapers: The Victorian Perspective

Tony Kearns, Nutan, Colm Keating and Peter Laban have each spent many years taking photographs at the festival and are regular visitors to Miltown Malbay. As part of ITMA’s contribution to the virtual Willie Clancy Summer School for 2020 we published a number of their mages from the Summer School. Also featured in the gallery are images from Danny Diamond, Orla Henihan, Liam McNulty and Mal Whyte.
