Gerry O’Hanlon was a singer, social worker from Mullaghbawn, Co Armagh. He was a founder member of the Sliabh Gullion Festival of Traditional Singing (based on the villages of Forkhill and Mullaghbawn in south Co Armagh) which from 1982 introduced singers from all over Ireland and Britain to memorable days and nights of music in a scenic part of Ireland until then little-known to them. An entertaining and humorous companion and a great friend of the late Tom Munnelly, founding chairman of the Archive, Gerry served on the ITMA Board from 1996 to 2001, and was its Treasurer in those years.
