CLADDAGH
RECORDS
Independent label: Claddagh
Records is a record label which was founded in 1959 by Garech Browne and Ivor
Browne. It specialises in Irish traditional music and spoken word. Garech had
been taking lessons at the time from the master piper Leo Rowsome. Leo, who had
made many recordings in the 1920s and 1930s with H.M.V. and Decca, was to be the
first artist to record on the Claddagh label. Leo, on the first-ever Claddagh
album "Rí na bPíobairí" (King of the Pipers), produced virtuoso uilleann piping.
The second album released by Claddagh was the Chieftains' first recording. The
most arguably well-known artists in their roster are The Chieftains. It
managed at least one single. It issued singles in an CCE-0 numerical
series. Distributed By Claddagh
Records.
