Ag súil go mór le bheith ag obair le Máiréad!

University of Galway’s Centre for Irish Studies has announced the appointment of Mairéad Ní Fhlatharta as Sean-Nós Singer-in-Residence for 2024 🎶

From Baile an tSléibhe, An Spidéal, Mairéad has been singing since she began attending classes at An Gaelacadamh at the age of seven.

Mairead spoke of the formative influence her teachers had on her, including the late Pat Phádraic Tom Ó Conghaile and Peatsaí Ó Ceannabháin. With their encouragement, she has also incorporated elements of the singing of Seosamh Ó hÉanaí and Darach Ó Catháin into her own distinctive style, and mentions Dara Bán and Caitlín Maude as seminal influences on her approach to sean-nós songs.

Announcing the appointment, Dr Méabh Ní Fhuartháin, Head of Irish Studies at the University of Galway, said: “The living link with the sean-nós song tradition and other aspects of the vernacular arts of the Conamara Gaeltacht are a key element of the work we do here.

Mairéad will deliver a series of workshops at University of Galway beginning on Wednesday February 28 at 6pm. The workshops are free and open to the public.

For further information, contact Samantha Williams by phone at 091 492051 or by email at [email protected].
