  1. While I don't speak a lot of #Irish I wouldn't mind learning a few Irish songs ... sean nós style and releasing them into the wild. The fear is always my pronounciation is messed up this one is "beidh aonach amárach" I sang it a while back and it actually speaks to me as a dad of a girl who is growing up a bit too fast for my liking! #mastodaoine #singing #gaeilge #trad #SeanNós #music #song #acapella #audio #ireland #culture

  4. Úna Dheas Ní Niadh - JPTrio & Niamh Farrell
    "Dhá mbeadh sí suas in éifeacht is a gcomhairle a bheith ina chéile
    An t-am a raibh na Gréagaigh ag goil chun cogaidh leis an Traoi,
    Bheadh Héilean gan aon éileamh is ní bhuailfí buille ar aon taobh,
    Is i bPáras a bheadh ceann réitigh ag Úna dheas Ní Nia."

  9. "What makes Sean-nós distinctive is that the song is sung in Irish and is unaccompanied. Often, the singer seems to stay detached and in a kind of trance. For those of us who are used to performers who gesture, show emotion and sing dramatically, Sean-nós may seem somewhat strange.

    The point of it all is that Sean-nós is about telling a story or reciting a poem. The meaning is all-important and the style is purposely understated."

  15. #IrishMusic - Inni-K - Iníon

    Poet and musician Eithne Ní Chatháin's journey into contemporary folk has been marked by a sense of wonder that shines on her third album - a collection of sean-nós songs taken from her parents' record collection and reimagined with newly-composed and arranged backings that breathe beautiful and poignant new life into important milestones of traditional song.
