CAF Review: Eithne Ní Chatháin

Some voices don’t just fill a room, they rearrange it. Even if that room is the Small Top Tent in Con Smith Park, where Eithne Ní Chatháin- perhaps better known by her stage name Inni-K- brought a quiet kind of magic to her Ceardlann Workshop (Saturday).

A national treasure, whose beautiful use of the Irish language is interwoven right throughout her catalogue of albums, from 2015's magical 'The King Has Two Horse's Ears' to Iníon (2022) and last year's incredible Still a Day, this free event was warm, funny and entirely without pretension.

She guided the room through a traditional sean-nós song and one of her own luminous compositions, her love of native language stitched through every word and note. SE.
