Siar - Johnny Og Connolly

2016

An album of Johnny Óg's own compositions, and one classical piece.

From Johnny, "The word Siar has many layers and shades of meaning to a native Irish speaker, but in the context of this album it evokes the awareness of belonging, identity and roots, my father’s island, his music, the language and unique culture of Conamara and my own place within it."
