Liam Ó Maonlaí is one the most gifted and versatile musicians to emerge from Ireland in recent decades. A founding member and frontman of the internationally successful Hot House Flowers, Liam also performs widely as a solo artist, and in collaboration with other musicians around the world. His music is rooted in Irish tradition with deep connections to gospel, blues and rock.

”I believe the style known as séan nos carries a sense of the soul of the land and the people who are awake in that land. I feel, when in the company of other cultures, the singing of this style opens a window into what it is that connects us.”
