The Diarmuidín Songbook is a special night celebrating the rich tradition of Múscraí songs sung by Diarmuid Ó Súilleabháin. Diarmuidín was a renouned sean nós singer and broadcast journalist from Cúil Aodha. He died in a car accident in 1991, and a posthumous album of sean nós songs, Bruach na Carraige Báine, was released in 1995 and rereleased with new recordings in 2022 under the name Diarmuidín. Since his tragic death a music and singing festival, Éigse Dhiarmuid Uí Shúilleabháin, was setup in his honour and has been running every year in the Cúil Aodha and Baile Mhúirne area in the Muskerry Gaeltacht. Diarmuidín featured in many of the early Cork Folk Festivals from 1979–1990.
This concert, The Diarmuidín Songbook will include many of the songs Diarmuidín was famous for: ‘Bruach na Carraige Báine’, ‘Aisling Gheal’, ‘Marysheen Went to Bonán’, ‘Carraig Aonair’, ‘My Pup Came Home From Claedach’, ‘Baile Mhúirne’ and ‘Glanlea’. Singers at the concert will include Diarmuidín’s two brothers Danny Maidhcí & Eoiní Ó Súilleabháin and Seán (Johnny) Ó Liatháin who all sing with Cór Chúil
