Seán Keane

Hailing from the Galway village of Caherlistrane, Seán Keane was born into a musical family that also includes his renowned sister, Delores, and his aunts, the sublime Sarah and Rita Keane.

In the early 1990s, along with Johnny ‘Ringo’ McDonagh, Jackie Daly and Frances Black, he was a founder member of the traditional supergroup Arcady.

His solo career burst into life with the release of the album All Heart No Roses in 1994, leading him to be dubbed ‘the greatest Irish musical find of the decade’, by The London Independent and ‘the fastest rising star of the Irish music scene’, by The Irish Times.

His unique repertoire of traditional Irish folk music, pop, blues, and country has seen his popularity endure throughout a career that has seen the release of eleven solo albums while collaborating on another five.

For this Balor Arts Centre show, songs like I’ll Be There, You Are Loved and Whispered, will join popular favourites like Isle of Hope, Galway to Graceland and Never Alone, on a set list that will also include some of his newest and latest material.
