Waterford contemporary/traditional singer and accordionist Seamas Hyland performs alongside West Kerry stalwart singer and accordionist Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich.
Seamas Hyland is a multi-instrumentalist and composer who focuses on both traditional and experimental music. He enjoys exploring the varied sonic capabilities of the button accordion and creating tonal landscapes using field recordings he collects. Seamas recently released his debut solo album ‘Maidin Domhnaigh’ and was nominated for an RTÉ Folk award for best emerging artist in 2025. He has also collaborated with artists like John Francis Flynn, Jennie Moran and Eimear Walshe, and is particularly intrigued by the contrasting nature of traditional and contemporary music and how/if these can be presented together.
Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich was born into a famous musical family and soaked up the music and song of West Kerry from an early age. Breanndán is a major figure in Irish traditional music and clearly states that “his music could not exist were it not for the mountains, seas and storms of his native Dingle Peninsula”. He has four acclaimed solo albums to his name, as well as numerous recordings with the group Boys of the Lough and Beginish. He has guested with Glen Hansard and John Sheehan in the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Royal Albert Hall in London, and Carnegie Hall in New York City.
This event is supported by The Arts Council of Ireland.
