In this episode of Celtic Steps The Podcast, David Rea sits down with the show’s Lead Singer, Róisín Ryan, the widely acclaimed “voice of an angel” from Dromid, South Kerry.
Róisín talks about her roots in the Irish language, having grown up in a Gaeltacht area, and her lifelong love of music. She discusses why music matters, her journey from a young aspiring singer to a successful professional performer and how she now shares her passion with others through teaching.
The conversation also explores her role in Celtic Steps over the past 15 years, including memories of her very first audition and her experiences as one of the show’s leading performers.
In addition, David and Róisín discuss the rich heritage of Irish music and song, examining its roots in poetry, storytelling and traditional Irish singing styles such as sean-nós singing. Music from Róisín is featured throughout the episode.
