“It’s great to have such a big-time Irish festival back in Boston,” said Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys. “It’s gonna be an awesome weekend with friends and family, and we can’t wait to split it with The Pogues, who we have so many great memories with.”
“We’re launching Seisiún at a time when Irish culture is once again witnessing another rich revival and resurgence. There is such an exciting wave of extraordinary cross-category Irish music talent,” explains co-founder of Seisiún Liam Lynch. “Our hope is to reignite some of that same sense of gathering, of revelry and of community, while also tapping into that emergent new interest in the genre. Let the music keep our spirits high.”
