ARCHIVE 23 is a project carried out by ITMP to collect, record and present 23 traditional musicians and singers from Inishowen. It is a celebration of the living and evolving music of the area. The aim of the project is to film and document the traditional music of the area as it is in 2023.

The film features performances of tunes and songs from the local repertoire, along with new compositions. The film gives an insight as to how the music is currently being played and how musicians are being inspired from the local tradition, and how they are developing their own individual music from it.

This is a hybrid event will feature a documentary film, which is edited from the short individual films made for this project.

The event will also feature musicians who will perform live after the screening. All individual films will be hosted on the ITMP Archive at: www.inishowenmusic.ie

Musicians featured in the documentary include Tom Byrne, Shaun McDaid, Paula and Melanie Houton, Paul Harrigan, Patsy Toland, Shane Devlin, Michael Gallanagh, Edel McLaughlin, Roisin McGrory, Clodagh Warnock, Joleen McLaughlin, Teresa and Paul McClure, Grace Toland, Siobhan and Mairead O’Connor, Deirdre and Ella McGrory and many more.
