Séamus Óg is an emerging force within the contemporary folk scene, drawing deeply from his family’s rich musical heritage and strong Irish roots.
Seamus specialises in guitar and cittern; a resonant, ten stringed instrument with chiming, layered tones. Now performing as a trio, with cello and double bass adding dynamic, delicately arranged layers, his music is a beautiful blend of instruments intertwined in rich harmonies, and stories full of heart.
The evening starts with an open workshop where everyone is welcome. Participants can bring whatever instrument they play and get stuck into some traditional tunes together.
Later, the trio takes to the stage for a set that blends original song-writing with storytelling and a bit of room for improvisation.
Hear the stories behind the songs, and see where the sound takes the audience on the night.
