He campaigned energetically for the proper recognition and treatment of traditional music and succeeded in establishing a wide-spread public appreciation for Irelands musical heritage. O'Riada's musical scores for two films that took Ireland by storm in the ealy 60s - Mise Eire (1960) and the feature film version of J. M. Synge's 'The Playboy of the Western Worls' (1962), made him a household name.
