A week before his death, Seán Ó Sé was making plans for this weekend’s National Concert Hall performance by Ceoltóirí Chualann and Cór Cúil Aodha. Séan Ó Sé and Cór Cúil Aodha performing at Shane MacGowan's funeral in Nenagh in 2023. “It’s one of those nights to remember that won’t be repeated very easily,” said Peadar, whose friendship with Ó Sé spanned six decades. “Because we’ve lost Seán Ó Sé, in a nod of respect to him we’ve taken his songs and married them to different individual singers in the choir who’d be able to carry his huge [vocal] range. Cór Cúil Aodha and Ceoltóirí Chualann with Peadar Ó Riada.
