| About Sean Tyrrell
Sean already enjoyed notoriety for the artistry with which he fuses poetry and music long before launching his first solo recording – ‘Cry of a Dreamer’ in 1994. The album served to confirm the belief of his legions of loyal followers, that he is a truly inspired singer of lyrically driven songs. A native of the slower moving West of Ireland, Sean took his time before committing himself to record. It was time well spent, exposing himself to the experiences of different cultures, musical genres, and literary heritage. Sean was surrounded by music all his life, coming from a family immersed in the musical traditions of his native Galway. During the sixties he performed in the city’s premier folk club – the Folk Castle, honing his vocal and instrumental skills, while rubbing the shoulders with a host of celebrated artists who performed there. Sean emigrated to New York in 1968 and slotted into the folk club scene in Greenwich Village. The early seventies took him west to San Francisco and a diet of Irish music sessions. It was here Sean’s reputation as an exceptional singer of songs, took root. Traversing New Hampshire in the mid seventies, he co-founded ‘Apples in Winter’, a band which was short lived but well recognised. He returned to Ireland in the late seventies, where he continued to compose, but seldom played in public. In 1978 he accepted employment with the University of Galway, based in the heart of the Burren in County Clare. It’s hard to avoid music in this part of Ireland and soon Sean was lured back into the music scene. His ability was recognised and appreciated, even amidst a host of legendary musicians. With a growing reputation, he was invited to ‘guest’ on several recordings, including two albums with the ex-Moving Hearts uileann piper, Davy Spillane. Swapping the Burren for the sheltered Bell Harbour, close to the border of his native county, Sean divided his time juggling the demands of mussel farming and a re-energised approach to his music. He became fascinated by the forward thinking poem ‘The Midnight Court’ (all 1,206 lines of it), written during the 17th Century, by Brian Merriman. He became almost obsessed by the play and a desire to set the work to music. This feat was achieved with much success when the Druid Theatre Galway staged Sean Tyrrell’s ‘traditional music opera’ featuring Sean with a host of talented contemporaries.
