At Home and Abroad

International Uilleann Piping Day, a global celebration of the unique Irish pipes or ‘uilleann pipes’, will take place around the world on Saturday 1st November 2025. Muireann Ní Shé has been immersed in Irish language, music and song since childhood. She attributes her main musical influences to local musicians as well as the old recordings of legendary musicians and singers who have gone before. Muireann’s debut album, Éistigh Liomsa Sealad (2023), is a unique sound-world, where contemporary and traditional influences combine with the dominating sounds of the pipes and ethereal arrangements of sean-nós song. The album features an array of soulful collaborations with artists such as Aoife Blake, Macdara Ó Faoláin, Johnny McCarthy and Jake Kalilec. Muireann has toured parts of North America, Asia and Europe extensively with various groups and as a soloist, while also being in much demand in Ireland as a performer and tutor.
