Music At Maddens Podcast #014 - Singing the Old, Making It New with Séamus & Caoimhe Uí Fhlátharta

Welcome to a new episode of Music At Maddens Podcast with me, Lynette Fay.This week we welcome Séamus & Caoimhe Uí Fhlátharta to the podcast.This week in the snug, Lynette welcomes siblings Séamus and Caoimhe for a stunning conversation about sean-nós singing, language, and the power of harmony to tell a story all its own.From kitchen-table sessions in Connemara to international stages, they share how Irish song has shaped their lives and how tradition continues to evolve when it’s guarded with care and opened with courage.They talk about growing up with music as second nature, how harmony gives emotion to those who don’t yet know the words, and the profound response to their performance of Anach Cuain in memory of Ashling Murphy.From pandemic collaborations to new songs in Irish and their reimagining of Blackbird through lilting, this is a conversation about creativity, connection, and carrying the language of home forward with heart.Enjoy!New episodes every Monday.Maddens BarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/maddensbarbelfast_home_of_trad/Hatch BelfastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/belfasthatch/?hl=enAvalon GuitarsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/avalonguitarsofficial/Website: https://www.avalonguitars.com/Smithwicks Irish AleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smithwicks_ireland/Website: https://www.smithwicksexperience.com/
