Sean Keane is a singer and multi-instrumentalist of skill, acclaim and flair. He is rooted firmly in old Ireland with the Keane family tradition of sean-nós singing , but his music branches out gloriously from those roots pulling sustenance from many genres. Seán's voice has untold depth, range and maturity; his skill on the flute, whistles and pipes with which he punctuates songs, make his work unforgettable
A most distinctive voice from Ireland! His music transcends genre and yet ...is as obviously of Ireland as the green fields and the soft mists
Olcan Masterson who composed the Convenience Reel was my grandad who sadly passed away a few days ago and coming across videos of people playing this reel makes me so happy and I love getting to see his composition being played by many amazing musicians like yourself, amazing❤
Sang this to my brother last night, still fully booted and suited after a funeral. Rememberd every word. He cried, but looked at me in a way I'd never seen. More heartfelt joy than sorrow. Beautiful
When I leave this world behind me To another I will go And if there are no pipes in heaven I'll be going down below If friends in time be severed Someday we will meet again I'll return to leave you never Be a piper to the end This has been a day to die for Now the day is almost done Up above, a quiet seabird Turns to face the setting sun Now the evening dove is calling And all the hills are burning red And before the night comes falling Clouds are lined with golden thread We watched the fires together Shared our quarters for a while Walked the dusty roads together Came so many miles This has been a day to die on Now the day is almost done Here the pipes will lay beside me Silent with the battle drum If friends in time be severed Someday we will meet again I'll return to leave you never Be a piper to the end
