Séamus Begley is the quintessential Irish musician, coming as he does from one of the most musically acclaimed Irish families. He is also an eager storyteller known for his sharp wit and famous for pumping out tune after tune at all night sessions with an energy that is sometimes alarming. His repertoire reflects his own place and his style of playing is much influenced by a generation of accordion and fiddle players who came to ceili in his family home. He is considered by many to be one of the finest players of the traditional dance music of West Kerry and is never happier than when people are dancing to his music. Séamus divides his time between working his small holding in the West Kerry Gaeltacht and traveling the world playing music.
Oisín Mac Diarmada, founder of the noted group Téada, has been described by The Irish Echo’s Earle Hitchner as “one of the most gifted and creative traditional fiddlers playing today”. He exhibits a unique sound and approach, with unfussy yet intricate bowing and remarkably subtle phrasing. Although tirelessly active on the world stage, his music has a charmingly intimate feeling. After having toured together with the popular seasonal show, "Irish Christmas in America" during the past three years, Oisín and Séamus have teamed up in an exciting new combination, exploring tunes and songs from West Kerry to Sligo. Listen as they whup the bejaysus out of two Kerry 'slides'.
