Seoirse Ó Dochartaigh - Slán Agus Beannacht

Donegal native Seoirse Ó Dochartaigh is a very talented man who has successfully forged careers as an Artist [painting], Author, Lyricist and of course as a Musician. There isn't one bad track on his 2007 album Slán Agus Beannacht from the opening track "The Tinker's Daughter" a gently rousing song which sets the tone for the rest especially "Morgan Mangan", "Cavan Girl" and the haunting plaintive quality of "Slan agus beannacht". Seoirse has a beautiful mellow voice and a fabulous vocal range siging in both Gaelic and English.
