Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin Trio
Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, accompanied by Kaitlin Cullen-Verhauz and Ian Kinsella, will perform an intimate programme of song on the opening night of the Séan Corcoran Series.
A Dublin-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, with musical roots in both sean-nós and the English language singing tradition, Eoghan has emerged in recent years as a leading figure in the Irish traditional and folk song landscape.
Performing with acts such as Dublin folk band Skipper’s Alley, Mary Ann Kennedy from Scotland, Ruth Keggin from the Isle of Man, and folk/electronica band Jiggy, his collaboration Solas an Lae with Clare fiddle and viola player Ultan O’Brien, won best album at the RTÉ Folk Awards in 2021.
His debut solo album, The Deepest Breath, was released in November 2022 to widespread critical acclaim.

“Eoghan has a creative streak on a par with some of this country’s greatest ever songwriters. The lyrics of The Deepest Breath are proof and testament to that. Incredibly powerful words which not unlike the great Liam Weldon, are words that belong to and represent the working people. Words of hope for the overlooked and hard done by.” – Myles O’Reilly
“Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin has a wondrously sonorous voice” – Irish News
