New Album from Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin !

He's such a fantastic singer. This time it's mostly politically charged classics, with a spare production.

Even better, the proceeds for sales until 22 May support his campaign for a seat in Dublin Central, where he's standing on behalf of People Before Profit.

Great folk music and support a left-wing candidate at the same time!

Óró 'sé do bheatha 'bhaile from Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin

To call Cormac Begley and Liam O’Connor’s music #IrishTrad, is to do it a disservice.

These two men are musical innovators and there is little traditional about their approach. Let’s say they’re masters of the indigenous sound but are extending that fuaim into new territories

Maybe there work would be better served by calling it #CeolDúchasach. Regardless, give this a listen, and a watch,both music and imagery are superlative

I had an interesting request last night at the music group. A politically active Arab woman came a knocking, to ask if someone could teach her the Irish-language song she'd seen in videos of pro-Palistinian protests in Ireland.

After singing her Óró sé do bheatha 'bhaile that was the one she meant. So she's got a phonetic transcription of the words, and she'll be coming back to practice next week.

Being able to share a traditional song in a context like that feels absolutely wonderful !
