Seán Garvey

Seán Garvey (28 June 1952 – 6 May 2022)[1][2][3] was an Irish traditional singer from Cahersiveen, County Kerry. In 2006, he was the TG4 Traditional Singer of the Year, considered "the most prestigious traditional music award" in Ireland.[4]

Garvey first rose to prominence as a singer and musician in Dublin in the early 1970s. He co-founded the Islandbridge Singers' Club and later joined the Góilín Singers' Club. He became a key figure in the city's expanding Irish traditional music and folk-club scene, centered at the time in venues such as O'Donoghue's Pub on Merrion Row, Slatterys on Capel Street, and, later on, The Cobblestone in Smithfield.[3]
