Glenties October Fiddle Weekend. The Irish Recording Company – A Talk by Harry Bradshaw

The Irish Recording Company was the first Irish record label dedicated to traditional music. The company made some excellent quality recordings in their studio in Dublin’s city centre in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. This weekend sees the launch of a CD featuring a selection of those recordings, re-mastered by Harry Bradshaw under the title, Taisce Luachmhar – The Fiddle Album. In his talk, Harry will give a broader perspective on the work of the Irish Recording Company and their work.

Harry Bradshaw is an award-winning radio producer, record producer and sound engineer. A noted writer and lecturer on Irish traditional music, he is Ireland’s leading expert in the re-mastering of archival recordings. He was producer of RTÉ Radio 1’s flagship traditional music programme, The Long Note, for 17 years.
