Since it was founded in 1988, ITSC has championed the importance of making audiovisual recordings, a key pillar in our activities and which continues to this very day. In Songs & Singers you will find a gateway to explore this ever-growing collection of contemporary and historic audiovisual recordings of Inishowen singers, and singers from other song communities who have visited the Peninsula. It also features information, images, videos & publications about the Inishowen song tradition.
We offer a year-long programme of public events giving lots of opportunities to sing, listen, learn and enjoy the pleasure of singing in company. These range from free informal singing sessions in local pubs to group singing, and staged performances. Our events are an open door to everyone to share songs and good company.
