Channel description

Sibéal Ni ¬Chasaide (known as Cassidy in English), is bringing the centuries-old Irish style of sean-nós singing to the world via her debut EP on Decca Records.
“Ireland is so full of mystery and legends and so full of magic and that’s hopefully what my music can do”, the 19-year-old says. Indeed, on hearing Sibéal’s voice you are struck instantly by its mysterious beauty. Her pure, natural vocals, simultaneously serene yet heartfelt, reel you in and captivate you in their otherworldly intoxicating sonority.

It’s only the beginning for Sibéal, but it won't be long before the world hears this ancient style of singing – updated for the present day, but more beautiful and compelling than ever. “It would be impossible for me to escape a world of music because it’s always been there and something that always will. It’s something that’s been passed down to me and it’s something that survives deeply within my family and within my roots.
