True to his word, he took to the streets, playing fiddle, singing, and performing the Brush Dance, quickly becoming a viral sensation.

The son of renowned Kíla musician Seanan Brennan and musician/actress Fiona Maria Fitzpatrick, Séamie Séan has been immersed in music from birth. He has been singing since the age of two, and recently began learning the fiddle with the Comhaltas Phil Rooney Branch Ballyshannon.

On Saturday, Séamie Séan’s story came full circle when he arrived in style at Gerard Anthony Menswear in a stretched limousine, accompanied by cousins acting as his “bodyguards.”

The celebration included a lively performance with dancers and musicians from Áirc Damhsa, led by artistic director Edwina Guckian, the very person who first pointed him towards the shop where he spotted the suit while attending Áirc Damhsa’s Culture Camp earlier this summer.

Séamie Séan’s journey from Fleadh busker to proud suit owner has been filled with joy, laughter, and music, and he has won the admiration of audiences at home and abroad.
