Information/Bio:
Mossie Scanlon is one of Australia’s finest sean-nós singers, performing across Australia and in his home country of Ireland. Indeed, he is the only native speaking Sean-Nós singer in Australia.
Most of the songs he sings are in Irish although he enjoys singing in both languages. He admits that singing songs in his native language touches his emotions that little bit deeper because the Irish language is more part of his soul. His sean-nós language workshops are a sought after addition to his festival performances as he travels around Australia and Ireland. Mossie has released two albums which have been well received both nationally and internationally.
He is a founding, and life, member of the Irish Language Association of Australia.
Past performances: Turning Wave Festival, Gundagai Sept 2007; Boite World Cafe, Dec 2007
