Séamus Óg Trio + Zoe Cure

Live at Hyde Park Folk Club.

Séamus Óg is an emerging force within the contemporary folk scene, drawing deeply from his family’s rich musical heritage and strong Irish roots. Specialising in guitar and cittern; a resonant, ten-stringed instrument with chiming, layered tones that bring a distinctive texture to his sound, setting him apart within the modern folk landscape.

His 2018 debut album, Best Masala Tea, offered an intimate and raw sound, praised on the acclaimed podcast Tangentially Speaking by Dr. Christopher Ryan. With Terry’s Síbín (2022), and ‘Haul The Pots’ (2025), Séamus expanded his palette. The albums earned airplay on BBC and RTÉ, and his powerful live performances have seen him support and share stages with artists like Chris Brain, Brìghde Chaimbeul, Ríoghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet, and Mikey Kenney.

Now performing as a trio, with cello and double bass adding dynamic, delicately arranged layers, his music becomes a living bridge between past and present, family and audience, tradition and innovation.
