From the CD Booklet " Taobh na Greine "

Working now as a journalist with Radio na Gaeltachta in Dublin, Seosaimhin Ni Bheaglaoich is a native of Baile na bPoc in the west Kerry Gaeltacht area of Corca Dhuibhne. The musical tradition which she has made her own comes from both sides af the family - Loinsigh and Fearghaisigh on her mother's side, and the musical tradition of muintir Bheaglaoich from her father.

In 1984 she was a founding member of the group 'MACALLA', an all women band that won an enthusiastic following in the 1980s. The group issued two records . Television audiences came to know her singing when she presented the popular RTE series THE MOUNTAIN LARK. In november 1993 Seosaimhin undertook a highly successful tour of the USA under the auspices of the Irish-American Cultural Foundation. "Taobh na Greine: Under the Sun" is her first solo album.

She delights us with a feast of the great traditional songs from her native West Kerry Gaeltacht, songs that were an integral component of her native tradition and up-bringing. Her highly individual and sensitive treatment of the songs is elevated by a natural voice that is of great warmth, eloquence and colour.
