Suit Yourself: Young Fleadh star Séamie Séan to collect dream outfit in Leitrim

There’ll be a touch of showbiz sparkle in Carrick-on-Shannon this Saturday as six-year-old Séamie Séan Ó Braonáin, the pint-sized sensation of TG4’s Fleadh25, rolls into town to collect the suit he’s worked so hard to buy.

The Donegal youngster – who stole hearts nationwide with his impromptu performance on Thursday night’s live broadcast – will be arriving in style, stepping out of a stretched limousine with a security detail of cousins acting as “bodyguards” for the day.

Séamie Séan, who attends Creevy National School in Rossnowlagh, shot to fame last week after charming presenter Aoife Ní Thuairisg and viewers alike with his music, dancing, and cheeky grin during Fleadh25’s coverage from Wexford.

The son of renowned Kíla musician Seanan Brennan and musician/actress Fiona Maria Fitzpatrick, music is in his blood. He’s been singing since the age of two and recently took up the fiddle with Comhaltas Phil Rooney Branch Ballyshannon.

During the live broadcast, he revealed he was saving for a “dapper suit” he’d spotted in Gerard Anthony Menswear, Carrick-on-Shannon – a treat his mum promised if he raised the money himself. True to his word, he busked his way to success on Wexford’s bustling streets, entertaining the crowds with tunes, songs, and even The Brush Dance.

On Saturday, the story will come full circle. Joined by dancers and musicians from Áirc Damhsa, led by local treasure Edwina Guckian, Séamie Séan will return to the shop where it all began. He had originally called in looking for dancing shoes during Áirc Damhsa’s Culture Camp, but instead spotted the suit that stole his heart.

Music, dancing, and plenty of craic are promised as Carrick plays host to a well-earned celebration for one of Ireland’s newest – and youngest – stars.
