Darach Ó Catháin

One of the great sean-nós voices of Connemara, Ó Catháin learned his songs from his mother and moved with his family to the new Gaeltacht at Ráth Chairn in 1935. He sang on Seán Ó Riada’s radio series with Ceoltóirí Chualann in the early 1960s, and won at the Oireachtas in 1967. He settled in Leeds in 1963 and worked on building sites.
