Ok, Here is a zipped file of the ORiada broadcasts "Our Musical Heritage." Enjoy

Thanks for that. I only ever had an incomplete set and this nicely fills the gaps.


Not quite the full radio programmes though. A copy of the lps . A friend had tapes of the full radio programmes, I heard his tapes in 1981 or so but never managed to get a copy. At the time he said RTE had wiped the original tapes and copies were made illegally by a soundtechnician before it was done but I don't think that's actually true. Made for a good story though. It would be nice to have the lot, with O'Riada's comments and opinions (I do have the book). I have some clips of him going off on pianos in traditional music, which is quite fun to listen to actually. It involves him playing a solo take of Patrck Kelly playing Banish Misfortune and then repeating it, providing a clunky piano accompaniment to it, just to make a point

On the subject of O'Riada, his grandaughter Doireann ni Glacain, has done a documentary on him, which is being heavily promoted at the minute. There was a big interview with her and her mother, Sorcha ní Riada, this morning on Miriam O Callaghan's Sunday morning programme. I only caught a small bit of it while driving but it should be online somewhere*. If you're into that sort of thing, ofcourse.

Any chance of a fresh link? Would be most appreciated.

Which one? The MediaFire link? That's gone. You can send an email to chaos97, who originally posted it for download. Email info is on their Member Profile

Here's two different links to the same files. I don't have an account to any file sharing sites so it may not stay up long. Perhaps there are better sites that Im unaware of
