Bilingual folk-pop band Seo Linn are guided by a beating heart, as Gaeilge
"I’M NOT a native speaker. When I was younger I didn’t even really like Irish — I didn’t see any point in it,” admits Stiofán Ó Fearail, singer and guitarist with bilingual folk-pop band Seo Linn.
Five million YouTube views of the Gaeilge version of Avicii’s ‘Wake Me Up’ they performed with Coláiste Lurgan are just some of the reasons why Ó Fearail feels a whole lot more positive about the language these days. Add in the recent launch of Seo Linn’s debut album ‘Solas’, a book project, and a high profile Vicar Street gig on the horizon, and Ó Fearail is really seeing the point of turning a lifeless school subject into the vibrant means of communication for a new generation.
