series has been arranged in five thematic groups: Artists and Bands; Compilations by
Instrument; Events; Broadcasts; and Commercial Recordings. Content descriptions have
been supplied by Connolly (with the exception of Mary Ann Daly’s interview which has
notes supplied by the Irish Music Center) and were transcribed to form the inventory;
