Sincere sympathy to the Heneghan family on the death of Sheamus. A true gentleman. Fond memories of his company and his music when we would be back the West for our annual summer holidays.
We always enjoyed meeting him for tunes at Féile Chois Cúain, He was a fantastic role model for the young musicians - always kind, encouraging and patient.
May Shéamus rest in peace.

We have fond memories of many nights spent in his company in Duffy's pub with his music and craic.
Sheamus was one of the original committee members of feile cois cuain, and the face of traditional music in Louisburgh for many years.
He also shared a deep love of the sea and fishing, a line from a well known song springs to mind:
' The Puca sails to raise the spray, bringing bounty from the deep. Not all the gold the world could hold could buy that life from me'
