DESCRIPTION:Seán Keane in Concert \n(featuring Pat Coyne\, Fergus Feely\, David Doocey & Stephen Doherty) \nEvery Wednesday night from 28th June until 30th August 2017 \nTickets: €25 / Conc €22 \n \nSeán Keane from County Galway is decribed as the `greatest musical find of the 90`s` by `The London Independent`. Traditional Irish\, folk and even country and blues songs all lend themselves to his unique style and unforgettable voice. Growing up in a family of singers and musicians\, Seán learned the sean-nós style of singing from his mother and his aunts. \nSinging was his life\, even in early childhood; by the time Seán reached his teens\, he had collected thirteen All-Ireland medals in Fleadh Ceoil competitions. He was by then an accomplished whistle and flute player as well and had taken up the uilleann pipes and bodhraun. \nWhen he joined his first group\, `Shegui`\, he had already served a long apprenticeship; after travelling throughout Europe with the band\, he left to join `Reel Union`\, a group which also featured sister Dolores and accordion player Máirtín O`Connor. Later\, he was part of `Arcady`\, with such well known names as Johnny `Ringo` McDonagh\, Sharon Shannon and Frances Black. \nAfter a short flirtation with the theatre when he played in the Druid production of the `Midnight Court` and the Abbey Theatre`s `Sheep`s Milk on the Boil`\, Seán embarked on his solo career in 1993. `All Heart \, No Roses` received rave reviews and was chosen as `Debut Folk Album of the Year` by Q Magazine. In the years following\, success continued with Meteor Award nominations\, `Best Male Folk Performer` from Irish Music Magazine (three times) \,a similar award from the London `Irish World`\,as well as numerous Irish accolades. `A Portrait`\, a collection of Seán`s songs\, is a multi-platinum Irish seller. All of his solo albums are platinum sellers and remain in constant demand. Six solo albums later\, Seán Keane continues to delight audiences all over the world with his live performances and recorded work. He tours regularly with his band in Ireland\, Austria\, Germany\, the US and Canada as well as appearing at major festivals world-wide. \nView one of his latest videos- Click below: \n \nSeán Keane will bring his very popular concert to Westport Town Hall theatre every Wednesday commencing June 28 for Ten weeks.
