Better late than never for Seán Ó Liatháin and his debut record

IF SEÁN Ó Liatháin has taken a lifetime to get around to recording his debut CD, he has ample excuse, writes Pet O’Connell.

A teaching career, followed by business interests that include co-founding both Cork’s Rochestown Park Hotel and Ireland’s biggest pallet manufacturing firm, have demanded their share of the Baile Mhic Íre man’s attention.

Add in passionate support for the GAA and the Irish language, and it becomes clear why pinning Seán down to recording 24 tracks for his double CD An Crúiscín Lán was no mean achievement.
