Music From Coleman Country
The Coleman Country Traditional Society (Leader LEA 2044) 1972
This field recording was made in 1971 in County Sligo, the home of Michael Coleman (1889-1945) who recorded prolifically in the 1920s and 30s. His music was carried on by local musicians during the lean years when Irish traditional music became unfashionable. Many of these tunes will be familiar to anyone who has attended a pub session anywhere in the British Isles (and elsewhere) but when this album was released many of the tunes were still unknown to most of the folk world.

wow! what a treasure. thanks again reynardine, you hero! i really love old time irish music, especially in a rural setting like this, it's just perfect.
Thanks very much for this - it was a fixture in our house back in the day. Never thought I'd hear it again! You should get an Arts Council grant for this good work!
Thanks Reynardine for this post of essential Irish traditional music. Without some of the posts here, I would have no other source for these recordings. Much appreciated
Hello
Anybody has "The Coleman Archive vol.1 - The Living Tradition" ?
I can't find it anywhere...
Thanks
Bye
