Brendan Begley



From the CD Booklet " It Could be a good night Yet "

Breanndan O'Beaglaoich is a true player. He is true to the tradition that informs his music and his singing. He is an instinctive and intuitive receiver of the tradition. Born into one of Ireland's great musical families, he bears witness to the language, music and song of that family and of the community from which he comes.
His artistry is elemental like the weather of his homeplace, situated between the mountains and the sea at the foot of Mount Brandon on the Dingle peninsula at the edge of Europe. Language, landscape,tradition and community translate in Breanndan's music, into a profound expression of all that is true at the heart of human endeavour.
