HOME to John Beag \xd3 Flatharta is Lettermullen among the islands in south west Connemara. ... He blends English ballads with the Connemara sean-n\xf3s and tints songs composed in the Irish language with a rich dollop of the rhythm found in American country music straight from the sidewalks of Nashville.He has taken the irish speaking world by storm with his catchy rhythms and memorable songs from a local tradition yet sung to airs more akin tp American mid -west style.Creating a niche for himself and others singing country music in irish and ballads in English, John Beag has had immediate success. Immersed in local traditional singing,initially sean-nos ( unaccompanied ) he has brought a freshness to performing in his own special way, country and western - "tir agus thiar" - his genre as a mode of expression.
