Celebrity Concert - A tribute to Seán Ó Sé

Sat 23rd May, 8.00pm | Glór Irish Music Centre

Fleadh Nua will honour the legendary singer Seán Ó Sé on this special night. Seán, a native of Bantry, Co. Cork has an instantly recognisable voice and his performance of 'An Poc ar Buille' in the early 1960's established his reputation as a well known singer.
Seán performed with Seán Ó Riada and Ceoltóirí Chualann until Ó Riada's untimely death in 1971. Over the years he has toured and recorded extensively, including a recording with the Turloughmore Céilí Band.

Fleadh Nua will pay tribute to this proud son of Coomhola as it bestows the inaugural Loise an Traidisiúin award upon him for his sterling services to traditional singing agus don Ghaeilge not to mention the sheer enjoyment he has given to so many of us over the years.

Performing and paying tribute to Sean on the night will be artists such as: the Turloughmore Céilí Band, Peadar Ó Riada, Michael Tubridy, Nora Butler, Eileen O'Brien, Martin Donohoe and Chris Droney.

Sun 24th May, 8.00pm | Glór Irish Music Centre

In 1969 and 1970, Séamus Mac Mathúna recorded the legendary West Clare fiddle player, Bobby Casey, in London. These invaluable recordings are part of the Comhaltas Archive. A CD of many of these recordings has been produced by the Cois na hAbhna Archive and will be launched at Fleadh Nua, when many musicians, including friends who played with Bobby, will perform and pay tribute to one of Clare's greatest musicians.

Fleadh Nua is delighted to host the launch of “Maestro” at this year’s Festival. Join Bobby’s family and friends in Glór on Sunday, 24th May as we commemorate a truly iconic figure of our traditional music.
