Multimedia

In 1996, I produced a CD of Irish music with Coop Breizh (awarded the Diapason d'Or du magazine Diapason, May 1996). See the dedicated page.
In 2015, the French national archives for TV and radio asked me to on a multimedia panorama on the theme of "Irish music and migrations".
In 2017, I made a video documentary : "Irish music in France - Tocane, Ceol agus Dordogne", available on YouTube https://youtu.be/LdtkxlWG2iM
In the late 1980's I recorded Seán Moriarty, a primary school teacher in Killorglin Co. Kerry and native Gaelic speaker from West Kerry, reading great classics of 18th- and 19th-century Irish poetry in Gaelic. Great moments. RIP.
