(I’m Seána and Welcome)
Sitting at my grandmother’s kitchen table in Co. Wexford as a tiny little girl, I learned something magic. I learned that songs and tunes are about real stories and people, an expression of our true selves and of those who have gone before us. The expression can be of joy, anger, grief or sorrow, depending… The magic is there. The magic is in all of us, rooted deep in our core, a pride that runs wild, strong, and free.
My desire is to share this magic with others through our music, dance and the native tongue. I would love to shine the light and empower others to access the magical gift of the Irish arts.
Buíochas ó chroí to my grandmother; Kathleen Hickey who instilled in me a deep love and respect for our history and culture. Endless hours spent together chatting and listening to ballads & music on the local radio station, practicing my whistle tunes over and over like an auld broken record, met with nothing but love and encouragement; “rounds” of ham sandwiches and 7 million cups of milk as I did not like tea back then! She lit the flame that fuelled my journey of Irish music, dance, and the native tongue.

Seána Redmond thrilled a sold out Watergate Theatre at the Kilkenny Trad Fest 2019 when she danced with the legendary Kilfineora Céilí Band. Her performance really lifted the concert and was met with rapturous applause. Seána has a unique gift, taking sean-nós dance to a whole new level of professionalism but delivered with her sense of fun and enjoyment. We look forward to future collaboration with Seána.

I love my classes with Seána, she's a brilliant teacher. I have had 3 different teachers and Seána is by far the best. When we first started the lessons, I was very self-conscious about answering questions but over the weeks my confidence grew. I also met a great bunch of people and one of them that lives in the USA is going to come for a visit.

(01) Our daughter, who is usually very shy, has gained huge confidence from attending Seána’s classes. She is now willing to show off what she has learned in front of people – Seána is a fantastic teacher. I would highly recommend her class.
(02) Seána’s class is very upbeat, fun and enjoyable. She is a fantastic sean-nós teacher – our group has made so much progress on her 8 week course.

The highlight of Wexford Culture Night was the performance of traditional dance and music led by the wonderful Séana Redmond. She intertwined her talents as a performer in her own right with that of múinteoir, leading by example by her singing, dancing, and instrumental music. Our culture is safe with such great ambassadors in our midst. Molaim go mór í!

I started learning Irish with Seána in Spring 2020 and have found her to be excellent. I find she has really helped with pronunciation, also notes provided are a great help. Also, really enjoy the class and Seána has a great structure in terms of vocabulary (themes) and role play. I would really recommend.

We engaged Seána to perform at a high profile event – Opening of the Irish American Hall of Fame on board the Dunbrody Famine Ship last September during the Kennedy Summer School. Seána gave a wonderful performance of both music and dance for which she received widespread acclaim. I would highly recommend Seána as a high class entertainer with a unique and quality performance.

I am very happy with Seána's teaching methods, learning through speaking. While time is given to understanding the rules of Irish grammar, the emphasis on speaking with people of a similar level of Irish. Seána has instilled in us the confidence to speak Irish, make mistakes and learn from the mistakes. I highly recommend it!

You could hear a pin drop when Seána was playing the tin whistle - it was haunting and beautiful. Her use of everything on stage (tin whistle, barrel, frying pan) shows how confident she is in her skill. The transition from the music into the dance was fantastic.
