Súil ar aíonna na ceardlainne 2021
Is ón Rinn, i nGaeltacht na nDéise do Sheáin Ó Fearghail.
Thosaigh sé ar an bhfidil sa bhunscoil agus níorbh fhada gur phioc sé suas an consairtín chomh maith. D’fhreastail sé ar go leor ceardlanna ceoil thimpeall na tíre cosúil le Scoil Samhradh Willie Clancy agus bhí an-tionchar ag an gceol a chuala sé ann ar a chuid seinnt. D’éist sé le ceoltóirí mar Tommy Peoples, Matt Molloy, Martin Hayes, Noel Hill agus Bobby Gardiner.
Bhain sé máistreacht amach ón roinn cheoil in Ollscoil Luimnigh i 2010.
Thosaigh Seán Ó Fearghail ag deisiú a chonsairtín féin nuair a bhí sé cúig bliana déag d'aois agus tá sé á ndeisiú riamh ó shin. 🎵
