“(Eoghan has) a creative streak on par with some of this country’s greatest ever songwriters. The lyrics of The Deepest Breath are proof and testament to that. Incredibly powerful words which not unlike the great Liam Weldon, are words that belong to and represent the working people. Words of hope for the overlooked and hard done by.” – Myles O’Reilly “Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin has a wondrously sonorous voice” – Irish News “…once you hear his voice, you’re unlikely to forget it” – Folk Radio UK Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin is a Dublin-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. His musical roots are in sean-nós singing – the style of his father – and he grew up listening to the likes of Sorcha Ní Ghuairim, Seán ‘ac Dhonncha, Colm Ó Caoidheáin and other greats from the tradition. He is also influenced by folk singers from the English language tradition such as Liam Weldon, Luke Kelly, Anne Briggs, Margaret Barry, Thomas McCarthy, Sorcha Ní Ghuairim, Seán ‘ac Dhonncha, Colm Ó Caoidheáin. Eoghan has performed with various acts over the years, including Dublin folk band Skipper’s Alley and folk/electronica band Jiggy. He has worked with Mary Ann Kennedy from Scotland, and Ruth Keggin from the Isle of Man on their Aon Teanga: Un Chengey album (2015). He also collaborates with Clare fiddle and viola player Ultan O’Brien, winning Best Folk Album at the 2021 RTÉ Folk Awards for their album Solas an Lae. Over the past few years Eoghan has come into his own as a solo artist and songwriter. His songs – written in both English and Irish – build on his sean-nós singing foundations but combine hard-hitting lyrics with other musical influences to create a rich, contemporary sound. His debut solo album, The Deepest Breath was released in November 2022 to widespread critical acclaim. He won two 2023 RTÉ Folk Awards for Best Folk Singer and Best Original Folk Track.
