An evening with Séamus Óg at Cafe No9

Event information

Séamus Óg is an emerging force within the contemporary folk scene, drawing deeply from his family’s rich musical heritage and strong Irish roots. Raised in a household where music was as essential as the air they breathed. Specialising in guitar and cittern; a resonant, ten-stringed instrument with chiming, layered tones that bring a distinctive texture to his sound, setting him apart within the modern folk landscape.

His 2018 debut album, Best Masala Tea, offered an intimate and raw sound, just guitar, his voice and double bass. Praised on the acclaimed podcast Tangentially Speaking by Dr. Christopher Ryan. With Terry’s Síbín (2022), and 'Haul The Pots' (2025), Séamus expanded his palette, capturing the energy of family gatherings and the timeless spirit of Irish folk. The albums earned airplay on BBC and RTÉ, and his powerful live performances have seen him support and share stages with artists like Chris Brain, Brìghde Chaimbeul, Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet, and Mikey Kenney.

For Séamus, music is a bridge, between past and present, family and audience, tradition and innovation. His songs steeped in vivid imagery and the sense of belonging that only home can provide.
