Daire Ó Breacáin

Our Song of the Day is Séadnadh Mór (The Lion and Fox) performed live by Preab Meadar (Lorcán Mac Mathúna and Daire ó Breacáin). They are joined by Sean Nós dancers Liam Scanlon and Caoimhe Ní Mhaolagáin.

Lorcán MacMathuna of Preab Meadar talks us through the dance element of their new album with a brief look at the history of Irish Literature.

Daire and Lorcán discuss their new album ‘Preabmeadar’, the wealth of musical connections and the excitement of finding new horizons in ancient traditions.

Daire Ó Breacáin and Lorcán Mac Mathúna have created far more than a recording; it’s a contemporary window on the work of the earliest bards, on the origins of poetry itself.
