Does anybody know the Irish name of Jimmy Connolly, the sean-nós singer from Carna who is living in Boston? I heard him sing The Fair Maids of Loughrea on RnaG a week or so ago and the presenter gave him a longer Irish name with at least one leasainm. A search for "Séamas Ó Conghaile" is not helpful.

I'd love to listen to more of his singing but nothing else is turning up under his English name aside from John Mitchel. If there's an RnaG playlist similar to the one LyricFM has, I'd probably find the name pretty quickly but I can't find such a playlist. Grma.

He would be known locally as Jimmy Mhattie Sheánín Ó Conghaile, if this is of any help to you. As far as I am aware, there are no CDs by Jimmy available as I have previously checked the Cló Iar-Chonnacht website. If you contact RnaG - ref. Máirtín Tom Sheánín, I am sure he will have all the information.
