I'm not sure whether this falls within your remit Geoff - essentially it is an American collection, but it contains a great deal of British and Irish material

HELEN HARTNESS FLANDERS COLLECTION

The recordings are not great, but many of the songs are invaluable - from a couple of singers in particular
I have found it invaluable during my searches for Irish versions of Child ballads

I'm sure you are aware of the GoilĂ­n and Inishowen collections on line from the Irish Traditional Music Archive
ITMA has recently put up a collection of Newfoundland/Irish singers - I passed that on here a few months ago
All these are well worth a listen

Somewhere I have a link to the John Reilly recordings on line, made by American researchers, D K Wilgus and Eleanor Long - there are other important Irish recordings included there

The Ken Goldstein collection, including recordings of Lucy Stewart, is available only to students - I'm hoping that changes soon
Best
Jim
