Rakes of Music
“Rakes of Music” – an online archive of Leitrim’s traditional music, song, dance, cultural and social history which has been curated by traditional singer, Fionnuala Maxwell and supported by Leitrim County Council and Creative Ireland.
Fionnuala has been working on the collection for over a year, gathering Leitrim's social, political, sporting and cultural history through its music. This collection is now live in the form of the below website, allowing online access to information about various aspects of our traditions through video footage, recordings, pictures and articles.
Encouraging member's of the public to enjoy the “rakes of music” from Leitrim no matter where you are in the world.
