Seo Linn

Seo Linn (Irish pronunciation: [ʃɔ ˈl̠ʲɪn̠ʲ]; "here we go") is an Irish folk/indie group formed in Ireland that has been making music and performing since 2013. The group consists of Stiofán Ó Fearail on vocals and guitar, Daithí Ó Ruaidh on vocals, keyboard, and saxophone, Keith Ó Briain on vocals, bass guitar, mandolin, and percussion, and Kevin Shortall on vocals, accordion, and percussion. They perform in both Irish and English. Their debut album, 'Solas', was released in 2017 featuring songs such as 'Ar Scáth A Chéile', 'Music Makers' and their powerful rendition of the traditional Irish song, Óró 'Sé Do Bheatha Abhaile entitled 'Óró' on the album that has amassed over 6 million views on YouTube. The album won at the Nós Music Awards for '2017 Album of the Year' and consists of songs that they had been writing since 2013 for various projects, along with new material written specifically for the album itself. Solas is the Irish word for 'light' and the image of a lightbulb, which appears on the front of the CD symbolises a new approach to normalising use of the Irish language in contemporary music. Seo Linn's second collection of original material, a double bilingual EP entitled 'Marcus in the Wood/Marcas sa gCoill', was released in July 2019.
