Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin & Niamh Keady-Tabbal

His songs, carried by a powerful, resonant voice, have a storytelling quality to them, and move through themes of struggle, loss, resistance and healing.

Niamh Keady-Tabbal is an Irish-Lebanese singer and researcher from Kinvara Co. Galway. Through her work documenting border violence in the Mediterranean, she has gathered Arabic songs of exile and resistance from Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. She sings these alongside sean-nós songs that she has gathered from Irish singers.

Eoghan and Niamh will perform a mixture of Irish and Arabic songs together.
