Have your say on the Gael Linn Music Label
Gael Linn celebrates 70 years at the forefront of the promotion of the Irish language and culture this year. Since 1957 the organisation has built up a comprehensive catalogue of Irish traditional music, song and some spoken word. With over 300 titles, the true value of the material is incalculable either monetarily or culturally but it is certainly immense.
The quality of material produced by Gael Linn has always been paramount. Many leading artists have been published on this mainstay label: Seán Ó Riada, Willie Clancy, Skara Brae, Tony MacMahon, Clannad, Nóirín Ní Riain, Macalla etc. In recent years Gael Linn has enlisted some of the best artists from a variety of genres: Gráinne Holland, Téada, IMLÉ, Sadhbh Rosenstock, Gatehouse and most recently Bláth na hÓige from the TG4 series.
Work continues to bring this extensive catalogue to national and international audiences on a wide variety of digital platforms. It is Gael Linn’s intention to make all its catalogue available on such platforms in due course.
Musically the Gael Linn label remains one of Ireland’s great success stories. The organisation wishes to continue developing its iconic label.
Gael Linn is in the process of carrying out a review of its music label operations and would like you to have your say. Please send your considered opinions about how you would like to see the Gael Linn label develop either in English or Irish before July 28th 2023 to eolas@gael-linn.ie
