Mulligan Records was started by Donal Lunny in 1976 and was one of the most important Irish independent labels. Most of its output is traditional or contemporary folk, but it also released a number of new wave singles during the late 70s and early 80s, which is why it is listed here. Mulligan Records may still exist -- there was a retail shop in Galway from 1990 onwards - though www.mulligan.ie is no longer active. However, note that the vinyl archives have long been cleaned out and none of these singles are available anymore.
