Edinburgh Tradfest: Séamus & Caoimhe

“Absolutely gorgeous. I don't know if this could be any more perfect.” - Sharon Shannon

If there has ever been one act that we have stumbled across and couldn’t get enough of, it’s Séamus & Caoimhe. Haunting and beautiful blood harmony, dexterous instrumentals and energetic Irish dancing, all from just two incredibly talented young people.

Siblings Séamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta hail from the Gaeltacht region of Connemara. They are noted for their sean-nós (old style) singing and unique arrangements of both Irish and English language songs. Their performance in 2022 of the soulful lament Anach Cuain went viral around the world.

They are also accomplished multi-instrumentalists who keep the Irish language and their heritage at the heart of all their musical endeavours. In 2023, they released their debut EP Séamus & Caoimhe which was produced by Brian Whelan and Riverdance composer Bill Whelan. Séamus and Caoimhe won the RTÉ Folk Award for 'Best Emerging Artists' in 2024.
