EDINBURGH TRADFEST: SÉAMUS & CAOIMHE

About the show

Haunting and beautiful blood harmony, dexterous instrumentals and energetic Irish dancing from two incredibly talented young siblings. Séamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta hail from the Gaeltacht region of Connemara, noted for their sean-nós (old style) singing and unique arrangements of both Irish and English language songs. Their 2022 performance of the soulful lament Anach Cuain went viral around the world. Accomplished multi-instrumentalists, they keep the Irish language and their heritage at the heart of all their musical endeavours. In 2023 they released their debut EP produced by Brian Whelan and Riverdance composer Bill Whelan, and won the RTÉ Folk Award for 'Best Emerging Artists' in 2024.
